We are going to travel back to when we were kids finger painting in art class. Long before we were expected to create masterpieces on the skin 100% of the time. Back when we could explore our medium without worrying about the outcome. My goal is to help artists enjoy the process of learning without the stress and anxiety. This seminar is about finding your unique voice as an artist. While I will offer a live demonstration in reductive oil painting, the process itself is left open to experimentation and play, which encourages exploration and individual style. Why do you make the marks you make? When you remove fear and hesitation from the equation, what do you create? I will hone in on a few skills to assist each artist in finding their way, but overall I encourage all attendees to approach the medium with an open mind, ready to carve out a process that works best for them. My goal is to guide each artist into finding a process and individual style that they can carry across all mediums.

What you’ll learn
My goal for this seminar is to encourage each artist to explore their own creative voice through mark-making.
