In this workshop we will create a fun and whimsical painting that will release and reconnect with your inner child. We will explore several techniques and tricks. In the class we will create amazing depth and beautiful dimension with layers of paint, collage, fabric, found objects, beads, words, gel and more. Later we will hand sew directly on the 12”x12” piece of canvas and add found objects with wire and thread.
