The influence of colors in our life is tremendous!! Let them flow without concern for the final results and make a wonderful piece of Art! 
     This expressive, fun painting process will help you to feel joyful and to get rid of your creative block. This also expands your sense of freedom and possibility, and gives you a way to fearlessly explore unknown aspects of yourself.   All levels of art student, from inexperienced to advanced, are welcome.  
     Note: The final piece of art will be an abstract expressionism, during which we feel the beauty of color, rhythm, balance and free flow of mind!
