Using oil pastels, dry pastels, and colored pencils, you’ll design a bold portrait that blends human and animal features—or any two beings you feel drawn to. You’ll learn how to sketch faces with the right proportions, add expression and personality, and use blending techniques to create smooth textures and eye-catching colors. Whether your inspiration comes from fantasy, identity, or pure creativity, you’ll walk away with a one-of-a-kind artwork that’s vibrant, expressive, and totally you.

Discover the meditative power of line, shape, and pattern in this relaxing mixed media workshop. In this class, we’ll combine the intuitive flow of neurographic art with the structured elegance of Zentangle techniques to create expressive, abstract compositions. Using watercolor and permanent markers on mixed media paper, students will explore line and color as both artistic elements and tools for self-reflection and emotional expression.

No prior experience is necessary—just bring your curiosity and a willingness to explore. Each participant will leave with a unique finished artwork that blends neurographic lines, Zentangle-inspired patterns, and watercolor washes, offering a deeply personal and creative visual journey.
