Awaken! Renew Your Art Practice
Fast-Drying Painting Techniques – 3–4 Hour Guided Studio Experience
April 21st 10AM - 1/2PM
Step into spring with a fresh sense of curiosity and possibility. Awaken! Renew Your Art Practice is a welcoming studio session designed for artists who want to explore new materials, build confidence, and reconnect with the simple pleasure of creating.
In this 3–4 hour guided experience, I will introduce a variety of fast-drying painting tools and techniques, allowing you to experiment freely without long wait times or pressure for perfection. You’ll work with tempera paint sticks, water-soluble oil pastels, acrylic markers, Pantone markers, art crayons, and Gelatos—discovering how each medium behaves, blends, and enhances your creative voice.
You will leave with an artwork you created but, unlike traditional art classes that focus on completing a single finished piece, this experience is about developing foundational skills and techniques you can carry into any future project. With thoughtful instruction and gentle encouragement, you’ll learn how to approach materials with curiosity rather than hesitation.
This class is for you if you want to:
Explore a range of modern painting tools in one setting
Learn fast-drying techniques that fit easily into everyday practice
Build practical skills you can return to again and again
Create in a supportive, pressure-free environment
Strengthen confidence and creative momentum
At $89 per ticket, this extended studio session offers meaningful time, personal guidance, and access to a wide variety of professional materials—making it both an enriching learning experience and an exceptional value.
Come as you are, experiment without expectation, and leave with new techniques, renewed inspiration, and the reassurance that creativity grows best when we allow ourselves to create without fear.
