Meditative Stain Painting Workshops

In February I am offering two opportunities to learn the meditative art of stain painting. You can either take one or both of the workshops. They work together but you do not need to take the first one to take the second one. You can jump in at any point.

Join me for these two-day workshops at Art and Literature Lab in Madison, WI. You will learn the meditative and mindful flow of “stain” painting by exploring a variety of tools, applications, and media.

This process is playful, full of surprises, and is often affiliated with mindful painting because of the way it collaborates with “chance.” These are great workshops to enter the new year because they focus on intuition and thoughtfulness.

The term “stain” painting describes the process of applying watered-down acrylics and inks mixed with different painting media on raw, unprimed canvas. As a result, the paint becomes fully absorbed into the untreated canvas and part of the canvas itself. We will get inspired by artists like Helen Frankenthaler and Morris Louis who made this technique popular in the mid-20th century.
