Location: Ah Haa Arts School
To become an artist one must learn how to “see” - how to interpret the
world around you and filter it using your own unique vision and
expression. In this workshop students will learn how to converse in
color and form using a variety of artistic media: watercolors, pastels,
collage, printmaking, drawing and journaling. Contemporary and familiar
artists as well as composition, intent, and color will be discussed to
expand and define personal style. Open to students of all levels, the
workshop will use the synergy of thegroup combined with the delight of
visual exploration to provide the foundation for your artistic journey.
Size is limited to ensure that every participant has ample one-on-one
instruction. Materials: Call for supply list. About Susan X. Billings:
