Scribble to Structure: A Process-Driven Painting Retreat

In three-day, four-night workshop, you will use one favorite object to create a wide range of compositions through scribbling, contour drawing, mono printing, collage, stenciling, and color interaction. Expect fast-paced, high energy making with the potential to create up to 50 pieces, all centered on letting go, working intuitively, and enjoying the process.

The workshop will kick off with a welcoming dinner, drinks, and a presentation by Billie on her background and current work. Each day will feature a short presentation, followed by a demo and a working session with 1:1 feedback.
