Expressive Painting Workshop

Course Number: ARTS1738

Suited to all artistic levels from beginner to advanced, this workshop will appeal to artists interested in non-traditional art, but the principals learned can also apply to representational work. Using music and other exercises to clear the objective mind, you will be exposed to a new way of approaching painting and experience the liberating feeling of breaking out of the traditional realm and combating fears. Instruction is process oriented to guide you away from being attached to outcome, break through creative barriers, and move toward developing your own unique, intuitive style of self-expression on canvas or other surfaces. Working in oils or acrylics, explore colour mixing and various techniques such as loose washes, thick palette knife application and mark making with other tools. Your efforts will produce a piece of work that demonstrates the process of pushing your creative boundaries!
