Description
Cheri knows how to engage her students. Her motto is “Smile, Play and Have Fun”. She will teach you how to embrace your mistakes, love them and allow them to teach you.
The workshop will explore the opaque and layering abilities of Acrylic, chalk paint, gouche, watercolor, and pastel painting. Students will make two pieces of art. In working on the first project: “Simplify the Subject”, participants will develop a tone study of the subject with emphasis on having the eye travel around the sketch and how to leave out unnecessary elements. Project Two will consist of choosing a style for original painting to make a 3-tone small study. By copying brushwork patterns they will morph into one’s own style.
