Unbound Brush
Combining Intuitive Drawing with Water-Based Paints
with Robin Berry
Saturday, February 14
11am-4:30pm (with half hour lunch break)
Adults and Youth 14+ (with adult)
In this workshop, we will utilize a variety of techniques to combine intuitive drawing with watercolor, gouache, or acrylic paint. We will begin by learning how to use paper, panels, or canvas grounds to mix mediums and mark-making tools, allowing for expressive exploration of color, line, and value. Following this, we will investigate color harmonies and composition terminology in a playful, pressure-free environment. This class is ideal for artists of all levels—ranging from complete beginners who wish to overcome their fear of starting to experienced painters who feel stuck in a creative rut. The emphasis will be on the meditative and self-expressive aspects of art-making to foster enjoyment without the pressure to achieve a predefined result.
Deadline to register is February 12
