Improving Your Practice
This is a special one for all the perfectionist painters out there - or all those who let perfectionism stop them from even getting started.
Think fast-paced exercises that won’t let your brain put the brakes on, trying new techniques and really loosening up to let you be your best when it comes to putting down marks on the page.
Make sure you have a stack of paper (or even canvas) handy, plus whatever you love to create with. I typically use acrylics, oil pastels and coloured pencils for these workshops.
When you buy this lecture, you’ll receive an email with a PDF download which has the password on it and instructions. Keep this safe! Then you’ll be able to come back and do the class as many times as you like, with lifetime access.
