The desire to be inspired is the only prerequisite. You don’t ever have to fear a blank page or canvas again. Finding ways to start is the key. This 2-session workshop will introduce you to ways to initiate new work from the feeling of joy. Developing a new piece in each session, allowing joy to manifest in sometimes unexpected ways, students will experience a new path into their abstract work. The workshop is for students who are looking to jumpstart their abstract work or to sample the longer 6-week session on abstract painting.
