Day 1 – Remembering: We’ll channel our inner four-year-olds and reconnect with the freedom of childlike creativity, using old photos of ourselves as inspiration and working with crayons, markers, pastels, and paint on paper.
Day 2 – Color: Learn to mix and harmonize colors that make your work sing through hands-on acrylic exercises in value, saturation, and color theory.
Day 3 – Composition: Explore balance and rhythm through shape, collage, and mark-making as you create a series of lively, layered compositions.
Day 4 – Bringing It Together: Refine your favorite ideas into cohesive works, adding paint and collage to bring each piece to life.
Day 5 – Finishing & Sharing: Wrap up your series, learn about fixatives, varnishes, and presentation, and share your work in a supportive, nonjudgmental setting designed to celebrate growth and discovery.
Light snacks will be provided each day, and you’re welcome to bring a lunch if you’d like. All materials will be provided, but participants are also welcome to bring their favorite paints, brushes, or mixed-media supplies to make the experience uniquely their own.
Open to ages 18 and up, this class welcomes all skill levels—whether you’re a practicing artist looking to explore new creative processes and invite more free flow into your practice, or you’re new to painting and eager to dive into a fun, immersive experience. The workshop is fully adaptable to meet you wherever you are in your artistic journey.
