Unleash Your Inner Artist with Serendipitous Techniques Wildflower Fields

 

Explore the unique joys of working with acrylics–one of the most versatile and forgiving mediums of them all!

Today we’ll use our acrylics to ​capture the wild abandon of a colorful ‘Wildflower Field’.  I’ll show you a few serendipitous techniques to add the impressionistic feel 😊

As is often the case in Zan’s classes, emphasis will be on technique with encouragement to play with colors and forms if desired.

Geared toward the beginner and experienced painter alike, you will walk away empowered and excited to apply what you’ve learned! 

Zan believes that the chance results that occur when using serendipitous techniques fosters increased creativity and an intimate connection with whatever medium one is working with. Hence, it is one of her favorite ways to connect herself and her students to their inner artist and it’s FUN too!!
