Trusting the Creative Process

$104

with Chris Newcomb

Calendar Next available session starts Jan 14, 2025 at 6 pm, runs for 4 weeks

Creativity enhances every aspect of our lives. If we wish to grow as an artist, or as a human being, we need to break free from the routine and ruts we’ve fallen into. The creative process requires us to challenge assumptions, to take risks, to step into the unknown. And though that can be frightening, if we trust the process, we’ll discover we are not the sole creators of our art or our lives. We are co-creators. From that vantage point we’ll experience the real joy of being an artist. We’ll explore this process using watercolor monoprints, a technique as old as cave paintings. From there anything goes. Whether you consider yourself to be an experienced or a beginning artist this class offers something for you. Please come join the fun! Fun fact: When we trust the process, we don’t need to trust ourselves, or some other person, or some idea, or deity. We just trust the process and it yields the results. Take a look at the instructor’s website to see examples of his work: www.chrisnewcombart.com

Materials costs:  
a)  Printing blocks $25 payable to instructor at first class (cash please, all students)
b)  Paints, brushes and paper $20 (or students may bring their own)
