WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:

Explore creative approaches that you can use when painting animals, as well as any other subject matter. Discover new ways to apply paint (or drip it, remove it, scrape it). Use unconventional color palettes, incorporate pattern, and more. Learn how to create something original rather than merely copying a photo. The focus will be on experimentation
 and creativity.
