SIMPLIFY YOUR PAINTINGS
A two day workshop for artists working in oils or acrylics:
Would you like your paintings to communicate your feelings powerfully enough to grab someone's attention from across a room? Would you like your own artistic voice to sing more clearly? Learning how to simplify your paintings can help both of these things to happen.
But what about our painting subjects should be edited out and what should be left in? How exactly does one simplify when painting?
Please join award-winning artist Jeffrey Swaluk for a two-day workshop at redFISH that will give you easy, step by step techniques to simplify your paintings and open your eyes to a new world of creative possibilities.
You can view Jeffrey's work and get free painting tips by visiting his website:
Cost: $150 for two days of instruction
