Painting the Chakra Energies Workshop

Instructor: Nancy Ramsey
Date: Saturday, June 15 from 10am-12pm
Class size: 2-12 participants
(Register by June 14; Walk-ins welcome, space & supplies permitting.)

Participants will use a variety of tools for layering and taking away paint to create works in acrylic that represent the energies of the chakras. The process of adding and taking away the different colors will create unique works reflecting each student’s journey with the chakras.

Participants will practice layering wet acrylic paints on paper. Then, will explore a variety of tools for etching into the paint. After exploring the possibilities, they will choose some favorite techniques to use on their canvases. We will discuss the chakras, pausing to add a new layer of color after each one. As they add each layer, participants can consider their own strengths and needs and consider setting intentions as they add and subtract color. The finished abstraction can serve as a visual reminder of our self reflection and intentions going forth.

Each participant will take home:

• A 12? x 12? acrylic painting on canvas
• Four mini paintings on paper
• A handout with information about the chakra colors
