We'll provide the canvas, paint, and various tools to apply the paint to the canvas. You bring...

I feel so enriched and on fire to paint big and glowing colors. If you ever get a chance to study with Ken Elliott, I highly recommend him. If you need help getting to his workshops just read his book Manifesting 123 -

Hey, I DEFINITELY recommend this! SIGN UP for Ken's class! Take your art further than it's ever been -
3-Day Intensive Workshop with Ken Elliott
Your workshop changed my whole outlook on what I might be able to do with my art career and gave me the confidence to really go for it. It was also huge from a creative standpoint, helping me focus on color and having that be the lead/primary solution to my paintings as a colorist and abstract artist - but also from the manifesting angle it was my introduction to the whole idea and what set me on my course as a professional artist.
