“Express Your Personal Vision – Unleash your Creativity” 

Medium: Oil or Pastel

April 20-23 / 4-Day Workshop

9 a.m. – 4 p.m. CT

New Harmony Gallery / 507 Church Street / 812-682-3970

Description:  This one-of-a-kind workshop is designed to launch a voyage of self-discovery. We’ll begin by identifying the technical weaknesses (if any) that hold you back, and develop a game plan to overcome them.

The bulk of the workshop will consist of a series of exercises designed to get your creative juices flowing, to encourage risk-taking, and to free you from the “tyranny of the literal”:

• The “what lights my fire” exercise – Find your direction.
• The “what if” exercise – designed to open up possibilities.
• Paint the concept – Tells you what to put in and what to leave out
• The “series” exercise- Launch your creativity
• The 30-minute painting – How to get to the heart of the matter.
• The 30-stroke painting – How to really get to the heart of the matter.
• Destroy a painting – Paint it; scrape it. Make it better.
• The massed value exercise- Maximize your painting impact.
• The dominant hue exercise – Creating a unified “look”
• Paint an Emotion – This will throw your thinking into an entirely new mode!

The final day you will make a painting using the principles and techniques we’ve explored in the first three.

Expect your work to become bolder, more creative, and more distinctly yours!

Level: Intermediate to Advanced

The class will be limited to 12 students.
