Mixed media

Indulge your adventurous side and explore your creativity by combining different media and materials into your paintings!

We will use paint, collage, stamping, and multiple drawing implements to produce richly layered works that combine structure and improvisation.

You will learn new techniques and approaches through demos, inspirational artists, and 1-on-1 guidance from the instructor. Students will develop both technical skills and personal style.
