BE FREE LITTLE BIRD!

Part 1

Creativity is the ability to produce a unique or uncommon idea that comes from within ourselves and that is influenced by a lifetime of experience.”

Carrie Burns Brown 

 

My hope for this class is that you will relax and have fun!  Be a child again and play…. Paint with no fear!

Saturday first thing, I will start by talking about color combinations, color theory and different compositions you can use. This is an important element in creating a painting that you will love. Because we only have 4 hours, this will be fairly short, as I want you all to paint!  After a few exercises and demonstrations, we will move on to all of you painting your own master piece.
