Free yourself from the rules of traditional art instruction and learn to express your inner voice in this playful mixed media workshop. Your imagination will take flight as you paint, draw, stamp, comb and splash colorful inks onto collage textured papers.
This workshop may be taken either as an introduction to the Muse Group art journaling process or as an abstract painting class.
Put on your straw hat and pack your sketchbook and watercolors for a day of sketching the chickens and goats in a magical garden sanctuary. Instruction in quick capture sketching with pen and loose watercolor applications will embolden your sketches and bring freshness and movement to the page!
New Muse Groups are starting this fall.
Learn to paint intuitively, capturing your thoughts, feelings, and intuitions in the playful format of art journaling. Each session features a different painting or other art technique which you can add to your repertoire - from textured collage to a variety of wet media painting techniques. Meditation and creative writing added to the mix evokes
that creative Muse energy!
