Victoria Kwasinski  - "Mixed Media Workshop" -- Saturday, January 4, 2020 
In this exciting one day workshop, we incorporated various mixed media to release our inner creative artist.  Using drawing, painting, and scraping tools encourages you to create different textures, marks and shapes, than working with paint and brush alone.  Through a process of working intuitively and expressively, then working with editing in and out, we worked towards expressive abstract/semi-abstract work that has good color, value, and a strong composition.
