Utah Artists are writers, poets, singers, dancers, actors AND PAINTERS. We all use different kinds of “words”. Each of these disciplines uses specific tools to express their unique “language”.
All of us, writers, singers, dancers, actors and Painters use ways to express emotion. For Dancers, they use body language, or singers, they use sound, etc.
For Painters our “language words” are color, shapes, values and edges formed in ways to express our emotions. As an artist, when you use your artistic “words” wisely, you will be capturing your vision as well as easily expressing your feelings.
This creates powerful unforgettable paintings.
In this workshop we will be discovering the powerful way to express your heart in your paintings…I will teach you my use of M.A.P.S.
(Making Artistic PlanS ).
This will have an incredible impact on your compositions, elevating all of your decision making and adding strength to your artistic creations.
You will find out how to paint your personal individual emotional response to your visual inspiration. You will learn to speak the passionate language of ART and find your own unique “road map” to the “destination” for your successful paintings.
For more than 60 years I have studied with great painters and taught all over the USA, Europe and Pakistan… giving me great insights to help all artists (from beginners to advanced), to understand simple ways that will help take your paintings to the next level….. no matter what subject matter or style.
This will elevate your paintings! And…. it is LOTS of FUN!!
