Come create your own landscape of the heart! Taking what brings us joy, what brings us meaning, or what dreams are calling us forward, we will express them using surface and depth. Starting with the humble canvas board, we will alter the traditional, rectangular shape to create our own frame. We will also add dimension with constructed layers, three dimensional organic shapes, and paint, to add the illusion of depth and shadow. Into our heart-felt landscapes we can add secret nooks, windows or drawers. And for the “cherry-on-top”, you will embellish your lovely piece with the colors, images and objects that make your heart sing.
We will also talk about the creative process, how to nourish, coax, and listen to your artistic voice, how to work when you get frustrated, what to do with indecision, and how to know when you are done. Please join me for this wonderfully fun class!
