this mixed media painting workshop will focus on building freedom within
our creative process. the biggest thing you will learn is to let go of
your preconcieved ideas about painting, allowing for a pure, personal, and
in the moment painting experience. we will focus on the idea that it is
better to make a mistake and follow it through, or correct it, rather then
trying to be perfect. a far less stressful approach to art making. we will
work on techniqes that engage us with our process and teach us to watch
our process happen rather than worrying or focusing on the outcome. we
will be painting with our hands and fingers, drawing without looking,
mixing paint on the fly, and many other techniques that force us to
understand that some of the best work happens on accident. its all about
learning to see. working in this way ensures a fun experience in art
making, and this ensures we continue to be excited about making art. the
best way to get good at anything is to enjoy yourself this is the biggest
lesson of the class. this class is open to students of all levels and
backrounds as it will be a new experience in painting and creating
regardless of backround and knowledge of techniques.
This is a one day workshop but mulitple days can be taken as different topics will be addressed on each day.
