Whether you are an experienced artist, just starting out or getting back to your practice after a break, Kellie and Heather will show you:
• The art of being in nature as inspiration to fuel your creative fire. Through hikes, collecting objects and observing, you will discover what touches your heart that will help inform your creativity.
• Exercises and ways to explore your inner nature; your unique human experience that reveals what delights you and makes you feel most alive. This, too, will be fodder for your art.
• How to use an art journal as a mobile studio and a means of building a personal “nest” to explore your thoughts, ideas and your unique visual identity.
• How to use mixed media including collage, paint and more to build a cohesive and nature inspired piece of art.
• How to create an abstract painting fueled by intuition, inspiration and pure expression.
• Through exercises that explore shape, line, texture and color, you will build layers using a variety of high quality GOLDEN acrylics, mark making tools and a variety of mixed media.
• You will have the unique opportunity to use high quality GOLDEN acrylics, grounds and mediums. Further, we will show you how to use these products to make image transfers and to create texture in your work.
• You will learn a number of formal and informal techniques that will help you build an ongoing creative practice.
