Registration Deadline:  By September 15, with a minimum of 10 students; maximum 15. Tuition and Registration form received by Cascade Fine Art Workshops holds your place in class.

Marla Baggetta’s workshop is designed to help you move past resistance and hesitation in your painting by working on multiple pieces of the same composition.  Over the course of this workshop you will use the fundamentals of painting as the foundation as you explore the lessons that can be learned by immersing oneself into a theme.  Some mixed media will be explored to foster a playful approach. 

This is a fast paced, fun workshop!  Discover how to paint quickly and accurately by concentrating on the “process” rather than the product. Techniques for achieving a spontaneous, yet controlled approach will be practiced.  Assigning values to make your pieces "work" will be emphasized along with developing color ideas.

Marla creates a supportive, energetic atmosphere, encourages humor and fun while providing the necessary structure for artistic growth. Each day will begin with a short lecture and demonstration followed by suggested exercises and individual mentoring at your easel.
