    Day Two, we go big 🖼️ Once you've loosened up on Day Two, we go big 🖼️

Once you've loosened up on Day One, we scale way up — each participant works on a large piece of unstretched canvas, building on everything from the day before.

You'll leave with several small studies and a large painting in progress, plus a new way of thinking about your own work. Acrylic, ink, markers, collage — all supplies provided.

October 17 & 18. Only 6 spots. $750/person.

Two-day workshop, October 17 & 18, at my Indian Creek studio. 6 spots.
