Bloom

Bloom is a mixed media workshop where we’ll draw and paint a beautiful, expressive figure using my favorite layering techniques.

I’ll guide you step by step on how to draw the figure proportionally, bring in a sense of movement, and let the layers of color and texture tell a story.

As we work intuitively and release control, we’ll open the door for our creativity to bloom.
