Back to basics! At any experience level, there is so much value in going back to basics, focusing on foundations and simplifying our process. Join me for a one-day intensive workshop where we will explore and play with mixed-media painting, collage and photo-transfer techniques. Beginners will follow basic steps to guide them through the process of making a piece. More experienced artists will use this time to work on a self directed project in a supportive setting with instructor feedback.

Participants will work on one 20x24 inch canvas. We will do some warm up exercises and experiments to loosen up and get into our artistic groove. After we have looked at examples and explored materials we will make a loose plan of what we will create. Participants are encouraged to bring photos and 2D artifacts to include in their pieces to make them unique and personal.

There will be a small number of participants to ensure an intimate setting and time for one on one instruction. This is meant to be a relaxing day to mindfully explore your creativity.

Please bring a lunch and water bottle. Coffee and light refreshments will be provided.
