Fluid Acrylic Workshop-
This class is designed for all levels - Just paint! What a novel idea! It has been said that rules were meant to be broken and this workshop is precisely that. It's about breaking painting rules and making your own......and then breaking them just to see what might happen! It's about pushing paint around in response to its addictive invitations to play, to dare, to experiment, and to become. And now, without limitation, it's about getting back to you and giving yourself the glorious permission to just paint! What a novel idea!
