This 6-hour workshop is for students who want to loosen up and create with less restraint.

Using personal photographs as a reference, students will work on several fast paintings. Guided towards discovering and trusting their own mark/painting statement and developing a critical eye. This is not a “how-to” class. You will be encouraged to experiment and embrace spontaneity. By combining fast, bold, loose strokes, students will engage in the “process” of the painting in the “present” rather than concentrating on the end result.

Fast paintings will be analyzed for their unique painterly style in order transfer the best qualities to larger canvases (36x36 or larger).

In the words of the artist, KiKi Smith, “Making art is a lot about seeing what happens.”

Bring several canvases and reference photos. A suggested materials list will be provided upon registration.

Ages 15 and over.

  • There is a $4 registration fee included in the tuition.
  • All members will have the fee deducted from the tuition.
