“Off the Wall” Create your creativity….!
Here’s some information about a new course I’m giving called, “Off the Wall” (and there are some workshops below as well). Or should I say, old new course? In that it’s back by popular demand.

Anyone at any level can participate since the art media involved can be as basic as cutting and pasteing, or as traditional a hand craft as sewing.

As a painter you’ve got to know how to deal with them, or they can ruin your painting experience. Handled with a respect for their nature, they’ll 
help your art work move ahead
Many novice painters working on their own can’t figure out why, when they mix color with every good intention and lots of passion, they achieve a muddy result instead of the color they want. The unintentional mixing of complements or near complements (more on these later) is often the reason.
