New Workshop at Jerry's Artarama of Raleigh Sept. 15-16

I am excited about this upcoming 2 day workshop on Expressive Abstracts on Canvas Workshop at  Jerry's Artarama of Raleigh, NC, located in the Holly Park Shopping Center off Wake Forest Rd. at the 440 Beltline in North Raleigh. This two day paintfest will recharge you batteries while engaging in expressive abstracts in acrylics on canvas. I hope to see some of my former students as well as newcomers to the class. We always gave a great experience and leave with a little more knoweledge and cofidence in creating expressive abstractions while working on a canvas. The skill level is for emerging artist, but experienced artist will also gain some new experience, technical knowledge as well as developing their already mpresent skills in the world of Abstract Acrylic Painting. I hope to see you all mid September on the 15-16 at Jerry's Artarama of Raleigh, NC

New Workshop in Granbury Texas

I am excited to announce the Abstract Expressionist Mind takes to the road again . This time in Granbury, Texas. which is about a hour Southwest of Dallas on October 5th - 7th of this year. My traveling workshop series "Freedom of Abstraction" will loosen up the established artist as well as develop some techniques and lay out basic principles I employ in my painting process. Here is a brief description of this three day class.

"Experience the freedom of expression using the four basic elements of abstraction: Line, Shape, Color and Texture. Joe will give you tips and techniques for expression yourself in a non-representational style of painting that will surely rid your inhibitions about putting paint to canvas. Joe's approach will get the new artist freed up to start expressing themselves right away and will help to loosen up the established artist to take the next step towards artistic development. Tap into your inner source of creativity, allowing the intuitive you need to flourish in this three-day painting free for all! Start day one on watercolor paper and gradually work up full blown canvas by the final day. a memorable painting experience."

I am hoping to see all my friends and emerging artist while the Abstract Expressionist Mind" workshop series heads to Texas in October 2012. contact Dr. Diana Littlejohn at 817-326-5629. or email: littlejohndj@charter.net to sign up.
