Great Workshop Opportunity !

The poet Muriel Rukeyser said,
“ The universe is made of stories, not of atoms.”

Trish McKinney’s workshop will walk you through how to tell a story and create deeper meaning in your paintings.

Best of all, you won’t need to buy any special supplies, all you need is your own preferred palette of watercolors, a few reference photos, and words to weave into your image to create your own meaningful story.

It promises to be a great workshop using both traditional watercolors and some QoR watercolors that Trish will share with the participants.

Enroll today for one of the few spots left in Trish McKinney’s 5 day Workshop, Chasing Wonder. Better yet, take a friend and enroll together.
