The Liberated Brush: Two Day Painting Workshop with Felicia Van Bork

The Liberated Brush is a two-day acrylic painting workshop led by artist Felicia van Bork.

Open to artists of all levels, it is designed for painters who want to loosen their brushwork in a supportive space where mistakes are valued and experimentation is encouraged. Felicia offers hands-on guidance through demonstrations and step-by-step instruction, using acrylic paint, helpful handouts, and live models. With all materials provided, participants will explore expressive portrait painting, discover techniques adaptable to any medium, and see a clear contrast between their usual approach and the bold, liberated work created in class.

Class Dates:

Saturday, November 1, 11 AM-3 PM

Sunday, November 2, 11 AM-3 PM
