Let your imagination take flight in this playful yet structured mixed media workshop all about the butterfly. Working on wood panels, we’ll explore line, color, pattern, and shape starting with a fun drawing exercise that will allow us to invent our own winged creatures. With layered paint, collage, and a touch of shimmer, you’ll create vibrant, expressive pieces that celebrate transformation and the joy of making art that shines.
