“Country Blues – Finger Painting A Cloud-filled Sky and Landscape” w/ Kimberly Adams
DATE/TIME: Saturday July 23 / 10:30-4:30pm
COST: $125
DESCRIPTION:
In this one-day workshop, you will be painting along with finger-painter Kimberly Adams, as she shows you step by step how to paint a beautiful countryside landscape with a blue sky dotted with puffy white clouds. Perfect for beginners and anyone who has never painted with their fingers before, and a fun refresher for students who’ve been missing our finger-painting workshops.
She will share her easy tips on how to mix color directly on the canvas and how to manipulate the paint into thick texture. You will enjoy the simplicity of this technique and find it refreshing not to use tools or brushes. In addition to painting, Kimberly will put you at ease on deciding when a painting is finished and celebrate the ‘happy accidents’ that occur – as these ‘happy accidents’ so often become the best part of the painting!
At the end of this one day, you will be proud to take home a vibrant landscape full of color and texture that will dazzle your friends and family as you share your story about its creation.
