2024-06-01 08:00 - 17:00 | Brown County Art Gallery, One Artist Drive, Nashville, Indiana, 47448
How would your artwork transform if you could break away from flat and boring or busy jumbled shapes, and start creating images with form and depth? Join us on a transformative journey where you turn what was once a struggle into an asset.
Bid farewell to the limitations imposed by busy reference material and a lack of form knowledge. In this workshop, conducted by Artist Roy Boswell, you will acquire the skills to alter and invent form in your paintings, understand the 1,2,3 read, and build up your box logic, empowering you to create deep and rich paintings that look like you could walk into them. This will elevate your work
and create dynamically formed art whenever you put paint to canvas.

Prepare to take the next step with your work and put your vision onto the canvas. I look forward to seeing you and
helping you on your journey to tell your story through paint.
