COURSE DESCRIPTION
Joan Mitchell (1925 to1992) reminded us that uncertainty is ok – but so is confidence. In this workshop we’ll use our full range of motion to work loose marks confidently while cultivating an appreciation for the chaotic aspects of painting expressively. Best of all, its fun! We paint freely and learn to see the possibilities in our unique strokes. Please see materials list below. Questions? Zoya@ArtforPersonalGrowth.com
