You’ll make interesting colorful marks on smaller pieces of canvas and set them aside to dry. We’ll dive into a variety of compositions and plan the painting that wants you to bring it to life. We’ll experiment with color and come to focus on a collections of colors that make your heart sing. You’ll make an underpainting on a larger canvas and collage on it with the smaller canvas pieces you painted earlier. You’ll bring your intention, composition, collage and colors all together and…TaDa!!! What you’ll create will be amazing! All levels welcome.
