Create a luminous accordion-style art book that blends painting, writing, and personal symbolism. Through layered color, negative space, and intuitive mark-making, you’ll uncover imagery and words that feel uniquely your own. This workshop is about discovery, not perfection—an immersive day of creativity that ends with a beautiful, handmade Dream Book to treasure or share.

Supplies Needed to bring for Class:
NOTE: I am trained by GOLDEN Acrylics, use and instruct with their products. Your color mixing will be more successful using professional grade paints rather than “craft” paints. Any brand is fine (Golden, Liquitex, Amsterdam, Nova, etc)
Your favorite acrylic paints (having a variety of viscosities, “fluid” and “heavy body” recommended)
Soft Gel Gloss
Matte Medium
Brushes: Any you enjoy using. I like a 1” flat, several smaller and medium in flats and rounds, a smaller angled, “liner” and “fan.” Bring brushes that you have and like to use.
Palette or palette paper for your paint
Your favorite mark making tools: Pencils, crayons, markers, Sharpies, pastels, Poscas, Pintars, Marabu, etc.
