Workshop Description

All art starts with a mark; no matter what media you use. Sandi will teach you mark making while working with three water-based mediums: acrylic paints, Stabilo woody (3 in 1 pencil), Kwik Stix Tempera sticks. Each week the workshop will introduce one of the mediums which will then be combined together to make a fun piece of work. Free your creative juices no matter how little or how much experience you have because there are always endless possibilitties to discover. You just have to let go.

Whether you paint abstract, figure or stll life, you can add expression to your art by making silly marks, and doing things with the innocence of a child.

After taking this workshop you will be excited to keep learning and honing your skills.
