Nature's Palette-make your own pigments
A workshop lead by Catskill Mountain Artist Laura Leigh Lanchantin. The use of stone pigments dates back to ancient times. Stone pigments were used by indigenous people to create cave paintings around the world. The old masters of the Italian Renaissance also used rich umbers and red ochres that were made from stone. Today’s abundance of commercially made paints has contributed to the disappearance of this technique. Making your own paint can be financially beneficial and can help create a more profound connection between artist and material. Pigment hue’s are based on what local geology provides us with, and natural toned hues such as Sienna, Umber, and Ochre are most abundant. Workshop Description In this workshop, local plein air/abstract artist Laura Leigh Lanchantin will walk through her own method of creating oil and watercolor paint from Catskill and Appalachian sedimentary rock. This process includes gathering stones, crushing, sifting, and applying pigment to painting medium. Laura will also discuss basic geology, safety procedures, areas of upstate N.Y where she collects her stones, and applying these unique pigments to your painting process. The end of the workshop will feature an open-paint session with pigments, charcoal and watercolor mediums. Laura will guide you to create your own painting based off of nature, imagination, or a reference photo. *This workshop is for adult artists and non-artists alike. No previous knowledge required. Bring your own watercolor paper!
About the Artist Laura Leigh was born in Cambridge, N.Y and now works in Hunter, N.Y. She received a BFA in Painting and Drawing from SUNY New Paltz in 2014. A nature-inspired abstract and Plein Air artist; Laura bends landscape into abstraction using her imagination in her large-scale oil paintings, all while using the actual land as paint.

Nature's Palette-make your own pigments
A workshop lead by Catskill Mountain Artist Laura Leigh Lanchantin. The use of stone pigments dates back to ancient times. Stone pigments were used by indigenous people to create cave paintings around the world. The old masters of the Italian Renaissance also used rich umbers and red ochres that were made from stone. Today’s abundance of commercially made paints has contributed to the disappearance of this technique. Making your own paint can be financially beneficial and can help create a more profound connection between artist and material. Pigment hue’s are based on what local geology provides us with, and natural toned hues such as Sienna, Umber, and Ochre are most abundant. Workshop Description In this workshop, local plein air/abstract artist Laura Leigh Lanchantin will walk through her own method of creating oil and watercolor paint from Catskill and Appalachian sedimentary rock. This process includes gathering stones, crushing, sifting, and applying pigment to painting medium. Laura will also discuss basic geology, safety procedures, areas of upstate N.Y where she collects her stones, and applying these unique pigments to your painting process. The end of the workshop will feature an open-paint session with pigments, charcoal and watercolor mediums. Laura will guide you to create your own painting based off of nature, imagination, or a reference photo. *This workshop is for adult artists and non-artists alike. No previous knowledge required. Bring your own watercolor paper!
About the Artist Laura Leigh was born in Cambridge, N.Y and now works in Hunter, N.Y. She received a BFA in Painting and Drawing from SUNY New Paltz in 2014. A nature-inspired abstract and Plein Air artist; Laura bends landscape into abstraction using her imagination in her large-scale oil paintings, all while using the actual land as paint.
