Bring a fresh sense of fun and freedom to your painting process with fast and loose techniques that spark creativity and joy. In this workshop, we’ll use tried-and-true methods to paint a wide range of subjects in a relaxed, expressive way—keeping the process playful while still achieving beautiful results. We’ll work both large and small, on single pieces and series, with each session designed to encourage experimentation, spontaneity, and maybe even a few laughs. Whether you're a seasoned painter or picking up a brush for the first time, this class invites you to stay loose, let go, and enjoy the journey of painting. We'll be using a basic set of acrylic paints, a few brushes, and a pad of heavy watercolor paper. Materials list will be emailed before the first class. Open to all, though the class is geared toward adults.

Workshop runs: October 17–31. Questions email: adultprog@jccgb.org
