Easy Collage Workshop

April 9 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Included with admission or membership

Join Luciana Abait, a featured artist from the Natura Naturata: Nature’s Action exhibition, for a free art collage workshop where you can create a surreal, dream-like world.

Luciana will share the secrets behind her “imaginary landscapes,” where she blends photography and painting to explore themes of dreams and immersion into nature

Participants will be provided with several photographs of Descanso Gardens landscapes, image cutouts and acrylic painting to add texture and mood and turn the work into a mixed media piece. 

No previous experience is needed. Come express your dreams through art!

Meets on the Main Lawn. No advance registration required, free with admission or membership.

This program is generously funded, in part, by Perenchio Foundation.
