"PAINTING YOUR CREATIVE EDGE"
SERIES 2
Thursdays, July 14, 21, & 28th
6:30-9 pm
Facilitated by Victoria
In this workshop series we will go to periphery of our creativity, challenge our comfort zone, and see what comes next. By opening up to those things that seem just beyond our reach, and exploring them through the art process, we are able to gain a new awareness of ourselves and our life path. The process often gives new insights into our inner and outer worlds.
We will use a large canvas and create a MANDORLA (two intersecting Mandalas). Using acrylic paints, journaling and more, participants will be asked to consider the following prompts in a three part series. One of the 3 sections of the Mandorla will be worked on each week, culminated in a completed artwork.
Week 1: Where am I Now ?
Week 2: Where am I Going?
Week 3: Where Do I Want to Be?
Fee: $110. Includes canvases and basic acrylic paints. You are welcome to bring your own acrylics and brushes to supplement ours.
Please email your intention to attend to gallery@expressiveartsflorida.com by July 9th. To pay by check, send to 200 S. Washington Blvd. Suite 1, Sarasota, Fl. 34236, or pay online here. Payment must be received to confirm attendance. 941-366-9595

Come and explore the simple yet profound process of Touch Drawing, in which the fingers and hands take the place of pen or brush. Paper is placed over a piece of Plexiglas to which paint has been applied. Wherever the paper is touched, an imprint is made. Impulses from within take form on paper through the movement of the fingertips on the page. This intuitive, meditative process moves us deeply into ourselves.
Artists of any level, including beginners, can experience inner authentic imagery coming alive on the page. Deborah Koff-Chapin, with whom the instructors have studied, developed touch Drawing. See www.touchdrawing.com for more information.
