Hurry Up & Paint!
Monadnock Area Artists Association

The purpose of this workshop is to completely remove you from your normal comfort zone and methods of painting. It is designed to force you to grow as an artist in the following ways:
- thinking and approach - use of color - brushwork & paint application - ability to make a quick statement - to dominate your painting and not visa versa - to have more fun and satisfaction with the painting process. You will be working on 6 paintings with a 1/2 hour time limit for each painting - each based on a different exercise. Please arrive by 8:30 to set up. Cost: $80 for MAAA members/$100 for non-members.
