PAINTING CLASSES- ART WORKSHOP
Here are some reviews for my recent art instruction:
“I ATTENDED CHRISSE’S CLASS ON MARCH 5 THIS YEAR AS A NOVICE WITH NO TRAINING OR EXPERIENCE, I HAVE TO SAY IT WAS AN ENCOURAGING, INFORMATIVE EXPERIENCE TAUGHT WITH GREAT PASSION! THE MATERIAL FEE ALLOWS YOU TO TAKE HOME YOUR VERY OWN SET OF PAINTS, PALLET & BRUSHES AND I COULDN’T WAIT TO “PRACTICE” THE NEXT DAY! I AM VERY EXCITED TO HAVE A NEW INTEREST I UNDERSTAND ENOUGH TO BE BRAVE ENOUGH TO TRY. THE SETTING IS SO RELAXING AND THE AMOUNT OF INSTRUCTION TIME WAS GOOD. WE LEARNED THE BASIC FUNDAMENTALS BEFORE YOU JUST RANDOM PAINT. TOTALLY WORTH EVERY PENNY AND EVERY MINUTE! THANKS FOR ENRICHING MY PANAMA EXPERIENCE!”
“IT WAS SO MUCH FUN. YOU MADE IT INFORMATIVE AND EASY TO FOLLOW. GOOD BALANCE OF TEACHING AND PRACTICE TIME”
“I ALWAYS ADMIRED CHRISSE’S ART. I ASKED HER IF SHE COULD GIVE ME A WATERCOLOR LESSON AT THE VERY MOST BASIC LEVEL, AS I AM NOT AN ARTIST! NOT ONLY DID SHE SHOW ME HOW TO COMPOSE A PICTURE BUT EXPLAINED ABOUT THE WAY COLORS CAN COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER. SHE THEN GAVE ME A TUTORIAL ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES TO ACHIEVE THE EFFECTS I WANTED. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN AND CHRISSE WAS SUCH A GREAT INSTRUCTOR THAT I AM STARTING TO PLAY WITH WATER COLORS AT HOME. MANY THANKS, CHRISSE, FOR HELPING ME FIND A CREATIVE SIDE OF ME I DIDN’T EVEN KNOW EXISTED!”

Learn the basics of collage and create a VisionScape to promote your dreams in life. Tapping into your inner feelings through visualization you will create a window to your desired outcomes. You will work with different types of paper, paint, ink, printed material, adhering substances, etc. to create a collage of your own vision. Japanese washi and other Asian papers will be on hand to use to create a different feel to your work. Some artists may wish to deviate from the VisionScape and focus on a collage with their chosen theme.
