Join Dina Wakley
for an expressive weekend where we leave our self-criticisms at the door
and open our souls to let the art guide us into powerful directions.
We'll be making both a canvas and a journal structure, moving from one
to the other throughout the weekend. We'll build up background layers,
remove layers, and build them again to create complex and interesting
surfaces. Then we'll add images with a "magic" pencil. Trust me, you
don't have to know how to draw to use this pencil. I will show you tips
& tricks for using it, and you will be amazed at what you can
accomplish. We'll draw artsy birds, and also create free-form images
that we will examine and then turn into meaningful elements on our
pages. We'll be using gesso, acrylic paints, modeling paste, stencils,
and spray inks to fill our art with color and expression all weekend
long.
ALL supplies & meals will be provided.
