Apply Now: To secure your space in this all levels workshop. Strategies for launching a creative vision are as varied as artistic personalities. In a supportive setting, we will address how to turn our inner vision into outer form. What tools can be used to best translate my mental pictures? Do I plan my composition OR simply allow my brush laden hand to gallop across the paint panel? Am I called to gaze into the blank surface, envisioning traces of an image awaiting realization OR am I guided by the urge to represent a personal icon or symbol? What makes my strokes, marks, composition, design and symbols, an expression that represents my inner world, communicates and celebrates my uniqueness? When we develop a painting practice, we determine our manner of line, color and paint application. We evolve our own recognizable style and reveal our soul. This workshop is a space to explore painting and discern our own roadmap in a personal creative quest. An art practice is a worthy journey into our mind's eye and essence.
