SOLD OUT! Larger Than Life- one day class

Alisa Burke


$150.00 $200.00
My most popular "live" class and once again I will be teaching it my personal studio!
There is nothing more liberating than working big, and this class will introduce you to working larger than life with canvas and paint. Forget about being confined by the size of your surface and start embracing what it feels like to get inside your paintings.  We will experiment with working on the floor and on the wall, as well as reaching, crawling, and stretching around our large canvas to get up close and personal with the creative process. You will learn a variety of messy and beautiful painting and collage techniques to use on a large surface.
Due to the nature of this class I am limiting the number of students to 6 people so we can spread out and create so it will be a VERY personalized 1x1 learning experience!!

Cost of class includes supplies, lunch and snacks
