Fresh Wilds: The Unbound Bouquet

CA$120.00

Shake off the winter chill and let your creativity bloom without apology. Fresh Wilds is a fast-paced, liberating journey for the artist who wants to paint looser, bolder, and freer. We are moving beyond "pretty" flowers to explore the guts of expressionism—balancing observational skill with raw, intuitive mark-making.

Over four intensive sessions, you will experiment with "weird stuff," from sticks dipped in paint to rubber tools and dry grounds. We’ll dive into the philosophy of "synectics" (the joining of unrelated elements), learning how to build flower portraits that have soul and "creative fire." This class is upbeat, philosophical, and designed to give you the courage to let your work truly bloom.

4 sessions: Saturdays March 7, 14, 21, 28 from 10am-12noon EST on ZOOM
