BY THE WAY, I PAINT
Abstract Faces with Brandi Carlile Band Lyrics: Intuitive Painting Workshop
Let’s Get This Red Rocks Party Started!
In the name of freedom and play, we’ll paint abstract faces using mixed media tools and incorporate lyrics from Brandi Carlile.
I invite you to spend happy hour(s) with me letting loose, slinging paint, and having fun. You’ll be gently guided and supported every step of the way and you’ll take home a memento (that you created!) from the weekend!
When I first started painting, portraits were the subject matter that scared me the most. However, with a lot of practice and some key lessons learned, they now come easily. In fact, it's what I paint most often in my art journal for comfort.
If painting faces seems scary to you, I want to demonstrate how to simplify the process. I will provide lessons to get you started and help subside those fears. I'll encourage you to paint perfectly imperfect abstract faces.
Faces tell stories like no other subject and I'll invite you to infuse the faces you create with your own stories.
We'll start with intention setting followed by several guided painting exercises using a variety of tools, mediums, and palettes. Included are tips for setting up your painting station, mark making, color and composition, techniques for building layers, and so much more.
Be bold. Let go. Get wild.
We're all artists! This class is for everyone, with no previous painting experience necessary. If you’re a beginner who has never painted before or an experienced painter feeling creatively stuck and in need of a boost of fresh inspiration, this workshop is for you!
Working intuitively to tune into our own personal emotions or instincts, we will move away from rules, formalalized skills, or the notion of right and wrong. My approach is to guide and facilitate you in making your own instinctive choices by providing a relaxed and friendly atmosphere where I hope you will feel at ease to create freely.
I anticipate lots of laughter, fostering of community, making a big 'ol mess, and maybe some dancing!
