Get creative with Boho art, a style that combines nature, organic shapes, and earth tones. Gouache is a great medium for this style, offering a rich, velvety finish, Add some pen linework for additional details to take your piece to the next level. This workshop is open to all creatives, from beginners to advanced artists.
Artist Bio: As an artist, my work is a conduit for creative and personal expression. I am inspired by the ordinary aspects of daily life and take pleasure in transforming and articulating them through diverse mediums such as acrylic mixed media with an emphasis on collage, as well as watercolor and gouache. My process begins with intuition, layering each piece to create depth and complexity. I strive for a harmony of organic and geometric forms, hues, and layouts. Grateful for the knowledge gained from other artists, I wish to share my own creative practice.
