Discover how working small can transform your creative process! In this energetic three-hour workshop, you’ll create three 5″×7″ mixed media paintings using gel plate printing, collage, and acrylic painting. Working with a limited palette, you’ll explore layering, composition, and intuitive mark-making while learning to rotate, edit, and build your paintings through experimentation. Along the way, Valerie Allen will offer spot critiques to encourage bold decisions and fresh ideas. Leave with three original paintings, new techniques, and renewed creative confidence. Supply list to be provided on registration.
