About the Workshop

This workshop includes discussion, work time and critiques of your work in class. We will explore where your art is now and where it could be. The format will be exercises for the first hour or two and then you can work on your own pieces or continue with what you started in the morning. The exercises are intended to open up different possibilities within the realm of abstraction. These workshops will challenge, satisfy, frustrate and give you a foundation for creating solid painting ideas.
