Souby Boski Materials List.pdf
Looking for an impressionistic spontaneity in your work? Do you want to apply your paint in a more gestural, painterly manner? Want to stop overworking details? Students will learn tips on how to communicate visually with suggestions rather than trying to describe everything in precise detail. Students will loosen up by using bigger brushes, more paint, working faster, and placing marks & gestures with purpose and intention.
The more you simplify what you do, the more it frees your mind to concentrate on staying loose.
Bring reference photos and a selection of canvases!
