WILD BRUSH!

Discover your spirit angel

We will discover your personal angel through several exercises, including a guided visualization and journal writing. Afterward, we will celebrate your angel by making a painting or collage using gouache, ink, pastels and collage papers. This workshop is an updated spin on guardian angels based on my research on cross-cultural angels throughout history. I will supply many images to inspire you. ZOOM or in person.

WILD BRUSH! Workshop May  5 and May 26 10 am-2pm @ Wilson Barn, Oracle I want to invite you to join me in playing with sumi ink, round watercolor brushes large size 10 or sumi brushes, and big pieces of newsprint 18”x24”. This is the opposite approach to traditional sumi painting- not one way to do it rather using your own expressive lines in various values of light grey, medium grey and dark grey mix sumi ink. In the first class we will experiment with make making, enso circles, then move on to looking at plants, flowers and birds for inspiration to expressively draw them.

The second class we’ll add charcoal and a dash of color on a large 22”X30 Rives BFK paper. Those mediums play well together. We can add a bit of pastel, pan pastel or some watercolor, gouache, inktense as well. We will also experiment with overlapping images and marks.

Think of these two classes as a way to celebrate spring and new growth both inside& out.

Tuition $85 for one class or $150 for both classes.
