About the Workshop

Play is about experimenting, creating, and learning in new ways. This workshop will explore a variety of ways to express and expand your artistry with paint. We will experiment with techniques and explore symbols and characters to help you develop your personal visual identity. Through a series of interactive exercises, we will ‘play’ with new techniques while engaging in a creative, open, visual dialogue. Part of this experience will involve exploring how to collect information and then process it through your art, creating a visual narrative. Whether you paint abstractly or figuratively, in oil or acrylic, this workshop will expand and deepen your creativity.
