No Blank Canvas: Mixed-Media Workshop

Isaac Grigar

Join San Antonio-based artist Isaac Grigar for a hands-on mixed-media workshop exploring personal and regional history through art. In this class, participants will create their own layered artwork using acrylic painting, collage, and image transfer techniques.

Students will bring printed images that hold personal meaning—such as family photos, places, or cultural references—and use them to build a composition on canvas. Through guided instruction, Isaac will walk participants through combining paint, drawing, and collage elements to create a piece that reflects memory, storytelling, and sense of place.

This workshop is part of the No Blank Canvas project in collaboration with the Patrick Heath Public Library’s Memory Lab, highlighting under-told stories from the Texas Hill Country.

All skill levels are welcome. Students are responsible for bringing their own materials

Hill Country Horizons: A 3-Day Start-to-Finish Landscape Intensive

Pauly Tamez

Pauly Tamez is an abstract expressionist and impressionistic landscape painter whose work is an exploration of color, form, and emotion. Primarily working in oil paints, Pauly creates compositions that pulsate with energy and invites viewers into a world of boundless creativity. His watercolor studies serve as a foundation for larger oil paintings, allowing for a deep exploration of the Texas landscape that ultimately informs his abstract work Through the intentional use of contrasting and complementary colors, as well as fluid, organic shapes, Pauly aims to evoke a range of emotions and inspire others to embrace their own creative spirit. Deeply influenced by the mentorship of renowned Texas landscape painters Bill Zaner and David Caton, Pauly continues to evolve his artistic practice while honoring the legacy of his mentors.

Pauly and his wife, Linda, and 2 dogs live in the Hill Country west of Borne, Texas.

Goal: Participants complete a finished oil landscape painting while learning foundational
techniques—composition, color mixing, brushwork, and finishing.
