Mary Ann Beckwith | 3 Days | October 22-24, 2015 | Brush and Beyond | All Levels

Mary Ann’s workshop “Brush and Beyond” is an art-altering experience! The energy filled days explore creative methods of watermedia application, including the building layers: texturing and collage. Participants learn new techniques and experiment with materials that allow them to better express their visions and ideas through their paintings and collages, whether those are representational or abstract imagery. Demonstrations and discussions focus on composition and design, how to recharge your work, sources of inspiration and the business of being an artist. Each day includes plenty of time for painting and optional critiques.
