December 5th 10am-4pm
Instructor: Glenda Goodrich
What if you could forget about making “good art” and simply let yourself play?
In this freeing workshop, we’ll use paint, movement, color, and mark-making to respond intuitively to evocative verbal prompts. We’ll layer, experiment, and let the unexpected emerge—then cut our paintings into a treasure trove of colors, textures, shapes, and hidden worlds.
These painted fragments can become vignettes, cards, collages, journal covers, bookmarks, framed pieces, or anything else your imagination dreams up. During the class we will create a set of greeting cards from the artwork.
No painting experience is necessary. Come ready to make a mess, release perfection, and discover the magic in the unexpected. Let go. Make marks. Cut it up. See what emerges.
WHAT TO BRING TO CLASS:
Material fee $20 (includes everything you need for this workshop: large sheet cold-pressed watercolor paper, acrylic paint, texture tools, stencils, cardstock for card making, and misc. supplies)
