In this workshop series, the object is not to make art, but to be in that wonderful state that makes art possible—a peaceful state that removes us from the craziness of the world.
Jill creates an environment that explores being purposefully imperfect, letting go of restrictive techniques that keep you too careful, and falling in love with how easy sketching and watercolor can be. You may pick up some techniques that can also serve as a solution for the harshness of reality during this journey of storytelling, humor, and deepening an artistic voice.
With author/illustrator, retreat leader, and creativity-solution dispatcher, Jill Badonsky, who, for the last 20 years, has been teaching a method of wild abandon art to which even the intimidated beginner gets addicted.

Micro 005, 05, 08
Pens that smear; I use Energel, but most gel pens will smear
