WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:

Marla Baggetta’s Loosen Up! pastel painting workshop is based on “100 Variations”, a pastel series featured in Pastel Journal, which marked a shift in Marla's career and became a metaphor for her life as an artist. By working on multiple pieces of the same composition students discover how to “loosen up” and  push their boundaries as painters. Over the course of the workshop  students will use the fundamentals of painting as the foundation as they explore the lessons that can be learned by immersing oneself into a theme. Some mixed media will be explored to foster a non-precious approach. This workshop will include demonstrations, individual mentoring and positive, actionable critiques. This is a fast paced lively workshop for both the beginner and experienced artist.

ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Adeptly assisting students develop individual and intuitive painting styles, Marla Baggetta is a sought after workshop instructor with an approach reflecting her Art Center College of Design education and years of experience gained only from behind the easel. “It’s a great honor to work with students to pass on some of the knowledge I’ve gained from my many great instructors and my own discoveries and insights as a painter. I’m a true believer that the fundamentals of painting combined with our authentic voices make painting a uniquely human and transformative act. As a teacher, I provide a strong base of the fundamentals of painting to assist every student in reaching their unique creative expressions in a respectful, nurturing  environment.”
