Fluid Art Making
Join me in this mini fluid art making course as I explore movement and color. I love teaching fluid art making because it forces you to really let go of the end product and embrace the process. Fluid art is a great way to stay mindful. I love using this process as a meditation. In this course, I share some of my favorite techniques for building abstract fluid art pieces. 3+ hours of video instruction. Available immediately.

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.
