Travesing the inner and outer landscape-acrylics and mixed media

Using acrylics and mxed media, transfer your inner and outer narrative into a series of acrylic and mixed media works.  A variety of techniques and processes will idealy suit those who enjoy being challenged beyond the 'literal' and into the unknown, thereby charting a new course in direction.  This workshop is largely explorative in nature, with an emphasis on the symbolic, yet conceptually sound.  It is anticipated that participants will create a series of works, sometimes working on a few at a time, to maximize this exploratory approach.

Intermediate (some knowledge of painting beneficial)
