The concepts in this course are simple and easy
but the colour knowledge that you learn by DOING,
as opposed to reading colour theory,
is MASSIVE
We also explore the concept of chopping up your old art
and turning it into brand new wonderful creations
If you have done any of my other courses
like 3 Bowls
or Big Watercolour
which are all about creating HEAPS of easy quick enjoyable art
you should have a big of a stack of creations that might like to be recycled into something awesome

mixed with a theme of one of the four seasons
The paintcard you recieve will be chosen randomly , and its big, - so not the set shown on screen
This workshop booklet is for anyone who wants to have fun with markmaking and mixed media art supplies while creating a gorgeous work of art for your walls
there is a great technique learning to recycle old frames
and its a project that can be done in one day

while you also learn a whole stack about COLOUR
is designed for people who might not have all the right supplies and it neatly contains the exercises in one place

This new workbook is the perfect companion in the abstract watercolour and markmaking journey
- encouraging you to explore colour more deeply - while creating a gorgeous wabi sabi markmaking artwork.
You can chop up old 'not quite right' studies and recycle them ... and there is a great instruction to show you how
to frame your art without a picture framer - that looks GREAT
It helped me to loosen up and realise how pleasurable art was without the boundaries of expectation
Every mark is a surprise - and there is no pressure because it can even become a background that you paint over - it is a wonderful feeling
As a controlled artist for over 30 years I felt a rush of the wonder I had experienced as a young artist just learning everything, it was so exciting
Since then I have been breaking more and more boundaries and have immersed myself into abstract art - I LOVE IT - and you can do it too
