Lian Quan Zhen CBP Workshop



Chinese Brushwork with Lian Quan Zhen

Location: Upstairs Studio

Price: $ 60.00 Option to paint with materials Linda will provide. Add $ 25.00
This workshop offers a fresh approach for acrylic and collage artists.
Five demos will focus on step by step techniques, designed to develop
your mental and artistic courage.
Examples of new approaches for transparent collage papers,
controlling value gradation with a high density foam roller,
and expressive line making with sgraffito tools, are specifically designed for
artists ready to step up to a new level of creative expression.
Following each demo, a short video will reveal how to move past the basics
to a completed painting.
Artists will take a small example home, if they choose to “paint in the afternoon”.
Just add $25 at registration. Linda will set up stations with all necessary supplies.
All participants should dress, knowing they might be in the “splash zone”.
