We’ve all done a square painting—but what about a painting that consists of 64 squares within the larger square? The effect is almost like that of a mosaic or a quilt.  I will show you some examples and techniques, and we will each create our own 64 square painting. This is an enjoyable, almost Zen-like way to build a painting: square by square.

 It’s a new year, and you’ve been meaning to get creative! Create a small finished painting in one session, and then consider staying for lunch at the Libertine Deli. I will guide you every step of the way, providing templates, color suggestions, and ideas for adding texture and pattern to your piece.  It’s a fresh, fool-proof way to learn to paint without fear. Paints, brushes and small canvases are included in the price. Participants should come prepared to have fun.
