Discover the unique challenge and charm of painting on a small scale in this two-day workshop with artist Larry DeGraff. Working with miniature canvases, students will explore techniques for creating detailed, expressive paintings while learning how composition, color, and brushwork can have a big impact in a small format.

Larry will provide personalized instruction and demonstrations throughout the workshop, helping artists strengthen their painting skills while gaining confidence in working with miniature subjects. This workshop is ideal for painters with some experience in oils, acrylics, watercolor, or pastel who are looking to refine their technique and explore a new approach to painting.
