En Plein Air Painting Workshop

Join Carl White for an en plein air workshop in the historic gardens of the Lougheed House! This is a workshop for intermediate and advanced artists to explore painting as a way of looking through time to see the world anew. Working directly from the landscape, participants will respond to shifting light, atmosphere, and both the historic and modern surroundings as a living dialogue between past and present. This workshop invites a deeper way of seeing — one that uncovers beauty, memory, and transformation within the familiar. This event is rain or shine. In event of rain, the workshop will take place within Lougheed House, exploring the outdoors through the lens of a window frame.

Please note: This workshop is intended for intermediate and advanced artists with their own artistic practice and is not a beginner workshop. It is a facilitated experience to explore the House and gardens in a modern context. All participants are required to bring their own art supplies (easels will be provided) and are responsible for their own cleanup.

About Carl White:
Carl White is a Canadian visual artist whose paintings merge classical imagery with graffiti, calligraphy, and contemporary visual culture. Referencing Renaissance and Baroque traditions while embracing urban mark-making and material experimentation, his work explores the tension between permanence and collapse, beauty and disruption, history and the present moment.
