The Fear of Taking the Wrong Workshop

August 21, 2014 | 0 comments

I just finished teaching my Sensual Florals workshop. The artists were outstanding, open and productive. I must say I am blessed by the students who have decided to work with me because they are the best!

The Fear of Taking the Wrong Workshop

You didn’t sign up for the workshop you found on-line because …well, because…oh, I don’t know.

Your friend told you about the instructor but your friend is a better artist than you so you might be in over your head.

What if you find you don’t like the instructor….all that money spent for nothing.

You don’t know the area.

You might have to rent a car and drive in a place that is new….and you are directionally challenged.

You aren’t sure if you should spend the money to further your career in art.

Perhaps you aren’t good enough to be in the workshop.

Best not make a decision now….perhaps later.

I don’t know how to do Abstracts anyway nor do I really understand Design.

Perhaps next year….yes, next year I will think about it.

These are the excuses I hear all the time….it is the fear of being wrong. It is the fear of being uncomfortable.

I have only two spots open in my Abstracts That Glow Workshop, September 8 – 12
and

only three spots open for Intimate Design, September 15 – 19.

Whether you are a pro with Abstraction or never painted an Abstract but have always been intrigued….this is a great workshop to spread your wings.

You know Design but not sure how to implement the elements and principles in your painting. You always ask yourself do you have a good design or a mediocre design. In this workshop you will learn how to develop designs that are exciting and juicy.

Think hard and fast….be brave, be willing to be uncomfortable while opening your heart to see the artist you always dreamed you could be.

Feel free to call me if you have any questions about either workshop….719-594-4232

Now is YOUR time!

love and hugs,

Gwen
