"To live a creative life we must

lose our fear of being wrong."
—Joseph Clinton Pearce

IMAGINE. EXPLORE. CREATE.

Over three days of discovery and play, we will explore new and non-threatening ways to make art, learn to be inspired in every moment and realize that there are no mistakes in the creative process, only opportunities to learn and grow! We will spend our time creating paintings and mixed media pieces spontaneously and intuitively, with no expectations, a wholehearted approach and an open mind!

SCHEDULE for all THREE DAYS:

• Arrive & Settle: 9:00 :: Time for students to arrive, settle in, and grab a cup of coffee.
• Class Segment A: 9:30-12:00 :: Class time with Tracy who will demonstrate and guide the 1st part of class.
• Lunch & Stroll: 12:00 PM :: You can choose to brown bag it or take a stroll to one of the many hip and artsy eateries in the historic Artist's Village in Santa Ana, like C4 Deli, Chapter One, The Gypsy Den, 4th Street Market, Cafe Calacas, Paninoteca, and Boldo.
• Class Segment B: 1:30-4:30 PM :: Class time with Tracy who will guide the 2nd part of class.
• Show & Tell, Clean-Up & Depart: 4:30-5:00 PM

STUDENTS SHOULD BRING:

• 3 favorite colored inks (mine are flame orange, indigo blue and olive green, by FW Artists acrylic ink by Daler-Rowney) PLEASE NOTE: I work and teach with more with inks rather than fluid acrylic paints so please be sure to bring plenty of these inks.
• Acrylic paints: 2 reds, 2 blues, 1 yellow, raw umber, 250 ml of white, and other faves. I like pthalo turquoise, Quinachridone magenta, and Quinachridone Nickel azo gold (NOTE: It is not necessary to bring GOLDEN paints. Any brand of acrylic paints will do and you are welcome to try some of mine. However, if you ARE able to do it, it would be helpful to bring at least 3 colors of fluid acrylics by GOLDEN in the 4 oz. size. Dick Blick is where I buy mine.)

• 1 large canvas (30 x 30 inches)
• 2 smaller canvasses (12 x 12 inches, each)
• Spray bottle for water
• Apron (or clothes you don't mind getting messy)
• Bamboo skewers
• Blender brush (1.5 to 2 inches)
• Fine brush and a few other brushes (old and new) in assorted sizes
• 6 small cheap foam brushes (about 4 cm across available at craft stores)
• Stamps and other mark-making implements (think creatively!)
• A4 size sketchbook
• Poems, prose, and/or images that inspire you
• LAST BUT NOT LEAST: Please bring your playful nature but try to leave your critical voice at home. :)

TEACHER WILL PROVIDE:

• Tracy will bring some GOLDEN fluid acrylics, matte gel medium for collage and glazing, inks and oil pastels to share.

NOTES:

• Tracy will have a limited number of original art items on hand for sale.
