All artists know the basics about their tools, but what they often don’t know is how far one can push those tools to extend the ability to communicate. This workshop will introduce participants to a thorough understanding of historical and technologically advanced materials. Hands-on experiments will enhance expressive capabilities to revitalize individual processes, and support future growth.
You will learn to extend the range of your material choices to best express your intention. In addition, we’ll explore grounds, brushes, pigments, watercolor, how to make your own oil sticks, oil and acrylic mediums, as well as issues affecting the application of paint and various colored materials (viscosity, transparency, and density). These tools will allow you to explore the techniques used by the Great Masters, but more importantly, will allow you to explore your own world. All materials will be supplied.

Of this class Bosket says, “all levels of experience are welcome and supported. This is a place that embodies creativity and wonder. We are learning, trying new things in a safe, supportive environment conducive to experimentation, further education, study, and allowing room for all forms of growth.” .
