This workshop is free but registration is required.
Join us for an inspiring afternoon of colorful landscape painting with Hudson Gardens’ inaugural Artist in Residence, Barbara Grogan. Known for her dynamic studio practice, Barbara works in acrylic paint to capture the warmth, rhythm, and emotional resonance of landscape. Through bold, expressive use of color, she invites painters of all levels to explore how place, light, and movement come together on the canvas.
In this hands‑on workshop, participants will paint alongside the artist while learning about her creative practice, with a focus on expressive color and dynamic brushwork. Barbara will guide the group through the creation of two paintings, and each participant will end up with two unique acrylic works on canvas.
Participants are invited and encouraged to display their paintings from the workshop during the Artist in Residence reception. The reception will take place on Saturday, May 2, from 3–5 pm at the Hudson Gardens Welcome Pavilion. Artwork may be collected and taken home at the conclusion of the reception at 5 pm.
