Instructor: Susan Miller
Class Code: SM190428
Workshop Fee: $120
Medium: Mixed Media
Sunday, April 28, Noon – 6:00 pm
Journey into the creative process that will deepen your understanding and connection with yourself and your art-making. No matter what your skill level is, you will open up to the freedom of being fully in tune with your inner artist voice.
You will learn how to:
• Use different mediums in your art-making such as acrylic inks/paints, art-sprays and papers.
• Build a background in layers using lots of juicy inks and paint, stencils, handmade stamps, colorful collaging and natural objects.
• Use a wide range of unconventional tools such as sticks, leaves, bubble wrap, drywall tape, scratching tools and corrugated cardboard to create dynamic textures and patterns.
• Paint and collage a face in your beautiful background as a focal point of your painting.
You will go home with a vibrant painting and the skills needed to develop an intuitive creative practice that includes reflection, inspiration, color, and joy!
