Susan Hanssen, 1 DAY WORKSHOP: Jumpstart Your Thinking
Thursday, March 27th, 2014 ... 9:00am - 4:00pm
We will be painting on an “old” watercolor with watercolor and gouache…
Plenty of surprises and always the unexpected. Abstract or objective painting …
student’s choice. I will show some “shortcuts” to abstraction and talk about design.
In a few hours you will create an unexpected painting that is rich with an amazing underpainting.
You only need a “mind set” that will let you try something new.
I will demo and discuss as well as provide individual attention. The day will end with an informal critique.
Cost: $65 for members
$75 for non- member
Place: Boca Raton Community Center
150 Crawford Blvd, Boca Raton, FL
