WATERMEDIA WORKSHOP: “CREATIVE PAINTING”, Ursula Burgess
We will start our paintings with new experimental techniques and no preliminary sketches. At this point it’s all intuition and fun! We will learn how to start and develop a painting leaning on design elements and principles, work through the challenges with creativity and finally how and when to finish it while personalizing your own work. Demos will be acrylic on paper, but all water media can be used on any surface of your choice. This is a fun and creative workshop where all levels are welcome. The Supply List can be downloaded HERE.
