Join Elora artist Rick Worthington for a one-day oil painting workshop exploring Lawren Harris’s Autumn Algoma. Working from this vibrant Group of Seven masterpiece, we’ll simplify the landscape into bold shapes, explore Harris’s rich autumn colour palette, and use confident brushwork to create light, structure, and movement.
