The session is divided into two parts. In the first part, you'll have the opportunity to experiment spontaneously with your materials in an abstract manner. You'll be encouraged to express your creativity freely while exploring color and composition. Following this, we will apply the techniques we've practiced to develop your final piece during the last section of the workshop. Whether you choose to work from your own images or from Victoria's collection of photographs and books. Victoria will work closely with you to understand your personal goals and achievements.
