This is an exericise-oriented workshop designed to offer students new ways to energize their paintings and paint the subject in a more dynamic style. If you have a tendency to focus on unnecessary details at the expense of a more artistic, expressive interpretation, this workshop will help you “free up” more -- and fuss less. All levels are welcome!
NOTE: This course is the first of an ongoing series. Stay tuned for Loosen Up Series II, offering additional loosening up techniques.

🎨 Cheryl M.: "I've taken several workshops with Patti, both in person and online. Her courses are positively wonderful as she is both well organized in her material and open-hearted in her delivery. It's rare to find an artist as brilliant as she is who can also break down the underlying constructs for a wide range of students with such clarity. There is much to learn, and Patti makes it fun, interesting and attainable!"
