About this Event
This workshop is all about shaking off the intimidation of what you think you should paint and bringing back the joy of play!
The first exercise is painting a still life in various time intervals to loosen up and be kindly forced to rely on your artistic intuition.
The second exercise is a "Mystery Painting" where the instructor presents a blurred image that students will be painting and every 20 minutes the image becomes sharper, until it becomes clear. Students will have no idea what they're painting until the very end: a wonderful surprise!
Topics covered:
- to paint intuitively and confidently
- to quick sketch with paint
- trust your artistic instinct instead of worrying about the outcome
- to paint what you see, not what you think you see
- that perfectionism is a joy killer!
Students will walk away with 7 still life studies, a beautiful painting to be proud of, and a renewed joy of painting!
