Ever wonder why we “play” music but do art “work”? Come and practice improvising in this playful, interactive, process focused workshop.
Artists crave the experience of the “zone”, that magic moment when we’ve set aside our thinking and become lost in our process. The ability to allow this spontaneous, receptive and in the moment focus is vital in our creative process. In this workshop, through carefully structured exercises, you’ll learn how to readily engage the spontaneous mode of your brain, strengthening it to become an equal partner in your art making. This is a fun, interactive and intense workshop open to all with basic comfort with the materials.
Art happens through a combination of intention and surrender. Through an interaction of our skills, knowledge and goals, and letting go and allowing the painting to paint itself. In this workshop, you'll focus on the process of painting as you move quickly through a series of evolving exercises very carefully constructed to allow you to set aside thinking and lose yourself in what you see developing on your paper.
The class that I took from Diana was an eye opening experience! Never in a million years would I think now that her class was typical... talk about learning thing about yourself and applying them to paper. She is such a special person and her technique is too. -JG
