Perhaps you are like me, and cannot resist buying a great journal or blank book when you see one, but then you get it home and those white nice pages are so hard to dive into? Well, let's change that! Let's jump right in and fill those pages with all that pours out of our souls & fingertips for the next two days, bringing life to each and every page. In this highly concentrated workshop we will be using each medium alone and then weaving each medium into another to create loud, expressive, original, whimsical, funky, and real mixed media art. We will be doing many exercises in drawing / shading, painting, stamp carving, and collage that will help to gently free your muse as you plunge into your journal. This two day class is full of techniques that will inspire you and give you much to take back to your studio, where you can continue to fill your blank pages with art & soul!
