Fearless Abstract Painting Workshop – 2 Days

by

FEARLESS ABSTRACT PAINTING WORKSHOP Play, experiment, have fun! Explore spontaneous creation with emphasis on “no rules!”. Join professional artist Samantha da Silva as she shares her unorthodox method of painting: Rollers rather than brushes, tables instead of easels, lots of paint and water, canvas manipulation and plaster, salt, sand and wood shavings to create ethereal, textured abstracts. Heart-centered discussions will be offered to assist you to let go of fear, silence the inner critic, turn up your intuition and explore your own artistic style in a safe, supportive environment including: 5 Things To Make Painting Easier, Compassionate Critiques, How to tell your painting is finished, and so much more!
