Loosen Up : Simple Techniques for Expressive Painting

Master the art of loose painting

Course Summary

This is an exericise oriented workshop designed to offer students new ways to energize their paintings and interpret the subject in a more expressive manner. If there is a tendency to focus on small details, and the resulting work feels too tightly rendered at the expense of a more artistic interpretation, the lessons in this workshop will help each student to “free up” more -- and copy less. All levels are welcome and supported.
