Working ‘en plein air’, use perception to paint your own unique voice in the landscape. Let go of preconceived notions of what a painting should look like, experiment with bold color mixing, loose paint handling, and atypical compositions to learn to trust and find a personal perspective. Day one will focus on playing with color palettes; day two composition and focus and day three on loosening up. Expect one on one attention from the Instructor to support your progress, slideshows and group discussion and feedback.

If artwork is not picked up after 60 days it will be recycled.
Mine your past for the rich stories that lie unearthed within. Take inspiration from the artwork by artist Mary Mattingly in the exhibition currently on view at Kimball Art Center.
This class is for anyone simply curious about memoir writing, to those who have begun writing, but are looking for community and education to help turn their work into an edited narrative– long or short form. Memoir, as seen in Soil Stories by Mary Mattingly, is a dynamic art form that inspires readers, heals writers, and turns the ordinary into a powerful tool for connection and compassion. Prompts will be provided, encouraging attendees to view their lives from unseen angles, both natural and cultural. All attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the elements of memoir, including structure, narrative arc, and banishing writer’s block.
