This course was first launched on Jeanne Oliver's site.
In this course, you will listen to your intuition to create expressive abstract paintings. Wendy Brightbill will be sharing her favorite mediums and techniques that lend themselves to letting go and embracing the process of creating.
You will be playing with watercolors, inks, acrylics and even embroidery. You will explore mark making, line drawing, shape composition and color blending to create depth and interest.
Your Instructor
My name is Wendy Brightbill and I am somewhat of a creative wanderer, an artist who enjoys exploring a multitude of mediums and styles. I love messy child-like play especially when it involves paint. I picked up a paintbrush after a car accident rearranged my brain from a closed head injury. I believe that there is healing to be found in art making and getting lost in the process. I try not to treat my art as being too precious, and yet, I am deeply committed to my daily creative practice. Art making is a little like breathing air for me. I can’t live without it. I am also a mother to three beautiful girls and a wife of 17 years to my biggest cheerleader. I have lived in Colorado for all of my life. All I ever needed to know, I learned from being a kindergarten teacher for four years. I just turned forty and I am finding this new found super power of saying no to the things that don’t bring me joy or peace.
