SUMMARY:Two-Day Workshop - Wildly Colorful Funky Art w/Becky Steele
DESCRIPTION:Wildly Colorful Funky Art Workshop w/ Becky Steele.  Two-day class on consecutive Saturdays\, August 9 & 16\, 11am – 3pm\,”Creativity is intelligence having fun” ~ Albert Einstein. Experimental painting is the theme of this workshop!  We’ll begin with exercises that help you tap into your “inside voices” (you know\, those voices inside your head) and use them to bring forward your curiosity and your own personal organic expression. \nThe first layer of your painting will be the words and phrases that tell your story. \nNext\, we’ll introduce colors to express the emotions and feelings around and over the words.  Shapes and spaces introduced in your third layer will bring focus to your painting\, expanding on and highlighting the colors and opening space for new ideas.  Marks will then be added in your fourth layer to enhance and support the shapes/spaces. Now your canvas is ready to begin your painting! \nThis class is for all artists and non-artists and is a lot of fun. I’ll be using acrylics but will encourage students to use their preferred paint mediums and bring multiple types of markers\, pencils\, etc. \nI’ll use multiple games/exercises to bring out the fun and help your imagination begin to flow.  These exercises are also designed to help take away the “fear of creating”.  I use them to open the workshop and throughout\, when I want to take artists to the next level. The underlying theme for this workshop will be to help artists find and identify their own brand – their own organic style. $75 non-refundable. \nMaterials List: \n• One Large Canvas – Any size 12” x 14” or larger. \n• Multi-Media Art Journal at least 8” x 10” or larger\, OR 6 sheets of 8.5” x 11” or larger\, mixed media paper \n• Paints – I will be using acrylic paints. Bring a selection of your favorite colors\, including white and black. You can use oils or watercolors but they are not as conducive to creating the quick layers we will be building. \n• Assortment of brushes – make sure you have a few large brushes \n• Pens\, Pencils\, Markers\, Crayons\, Charcoal\, Pastels\, etc – Please bring an assortment of these in multiple colors and sizes\, plus black. They should be a mix of water soluble and non-soluble. I use Pebeo 4 Artist Markers but any non-soluble marker will work. I like Stabilo pencils in red\, blue and black as they are water soluble. I love the Uni-Ball Signo Gel Pens in white\, gold and silver. \n• Any other favorite marking tools you like to use. I’ll also bring an assortment of implements and tools you can use. \n• Palette knife. Okay to bring a few sizes. \n• Artist’s tape \nGallery will supply: water containers\, spray bottle\, scissors \nSign up here!
