SUMMARY:Art In The Garden Workshop w/ Laci Dane
DESCRIPTION:Want to learn about art techniques in a beautiful outdoor setting?  FOLC’s annual Art In The Garden Workshop is for you!  A free opportunity to learn from professional artists\, our 2026 event is Free Flow Plein Air with Laci Dane. Join us for a free mini acrylic painting session set in the beautiful gardens at the Lost Coast Nature Center in Whitethorn. Each student will receive one 7” x 11” wooden canvas to work on during this relaxing\, open-air experience. \nLaci will begin with a short tutorial on painting with acrylics on raw wood\, demonstrating techniques to achieve a light\, fluid effect similar to watercolor. From there\, you’ll choose your own spot in the garden and begin creating at your own pace. The session will focus on abstract\, soft color backgrounds—building layers gradually\, much like a watercolor painting—before moving into more defined elements such as flowers or any foreground subjects you feel inspired to explore. This is a deeply satisfying and therapeutic approach to painting\, emphasizing the freedom of the creative process and the joy of the journey\, rather than focusing on a final outcome. \nAll painting supplies will be provided\, however you are encouraged to bring a stand up easel of your own if you prefer to not work cross legged on the ground\, and perhaps a pillow or chair to make yourself more comfortable. \nSpace is limited is expected to fill quickly for two sessions – one from 11am to 1:30pm and the other from 2:00pm to 4:30pm – so don’t delay in registering with cheryl@lostcoast.org.
