  • Sheraton Portland Airport 8235 Northeast Airport Way Portland, OR, 97218 United States (map)

Registration is OPEN

$185 For this workshop we’ll cover a little art history around the women of Abstract Expressionism who were making bold gestures, individualized expression and improvisational effects and wreaking havoc in the mid-1940’s
I’ll have images for inspiration, and we’ll create our own pieces using some of the new GOLDEN colors. We’ll do a little excavating and mark making with tools and finally, use PanPastel colors to add subtle effects
