Experimental Workshops with Marie Cummings	"Inside the Box"
Marie Cummings workshop instructor will help you along your artistic journey with an out side the box perspective. She will show you many experimental ways to make texture, which can be used in either abstract and representational work. Her focus will be on composition and design. Marie's teaching method is intuitive, helping you reach beyond your comfort level. Each day she will present an idea that you may decide to incorporate into your painting. She will be available for you during the entire time to discuss your work with you. Marie will start each day with a demo from which you'll learn to apply these techniques to your own
painting. She’ll show you how to take an unfinished painting and turn it into a new painting. A former student said "I enjoyed your class immensely and you have encouraged and inspired me to do a little art each day. You have such a joi d'art and it is contagious!! "

Collage Workshops with Marie Cummings	"Connections"
Marie Cummings is conducting a workshop for artists who want a smorgasbord of ideas for creating papers to use in collage or adapt new ideas into their style of painting. Experimental techniques are used to dye papers. These techniques can be incorporated into abstract or realistic paintings. Students are encouraged to journey through their own creative process. Participants will layer rich colors using Golden fluid acrylics. Texturing techniques include stencils, commercial and original, cheesecloth, household items, original stamps, tissue paper, and newspaper. She will show how to make dramatic relief using gel, gesso and molding paste.
