Join me for an exploration in abstract painting. Abstract painting might seem random, but it is based in composition and color theory. The skills you learn will be useful whether you later use them for backgrounds or as stand-alone abstract pieces. We will work on boards to create interesting foundations and looks with our acrylic paints and other mixed media supplies. After we’ve practiced, we’ll create a canvas. The end result will be gorgeous multi-layered paintings. Bring your journal, too, for practicing and taking notes. We will have lots of messy, artistic fun! Due to our “guest instructor” policy, purchased spots for all workshops are transferable but payment is non-refundable. What this means: If you buy a class spot and are unable to attend, and if there is a waiting list of students that has formed, we will call students on the waitlist to try and fill your spot.  If successful we will issue you an instore credit for your registration fee.   If you are unable to attend and there is no waiting list, we will unfortunately be unable to provide refunds.

My “Art Journal Play” classes are all about exploring and playing with art journaling and mixed-media techniques. The goal is to learn techniques, experiment, play, and make finished journal pages. We’ll be working in journals, but the techniques apply to all mixed-media projects (canvases, book-making, etc.). Even if you can’t draw, you are welcome in this class. Because guess what…I can’t draw, either! In this class we’ll take our skill level, whatever it is, and push it to be more expressive and free. This class will include powerful, scribbled faces, but will also include so much more–animals, flowers, buildings, you name it you can draw it. We’ll work in our journals in this class so that we have lots of space for practicing and experimenting.
