On the first day we cover the basics:  Mark-making for structure and expression, color mixing, substrate preparation, tools and paint applications  the foundational layers and texture, collage significance and placement, the stages of dryness, working wet-in-wet, mechanical and solvent reductions and finally the best practices for finishing your work. 

On day two the focus is a sense place, the feel of  belonging. It can cover many physical forms, yet also many emotions and senses. It can be physical, perceptual and behavioral. It could be our home, the place we grew up or where we are right now. The challenge is how to achieve through forms and colors. 

Workshop Requirements Class size maximum of five (5) people and three (3) minimum.
