Class Description

Unwind midweek with this relaxing mixed media painting class, blending watercolors, acrylic paints, and handmade collage papers. In the first weeks, you'll explore organic and geometric shapes with watercolor. Then, you'll learn to use acrylics for bold layering and texture. From wet-on-wet washes to bold cut-paper compositions, each class introduces new ways to blend color, texture, and shape. Guided by a professional art teacher with a specialization in art therapy, this class is the perfect stress-free space to create and recharge. No prior experience needed — just a passion for art and a desire to explore!

About the Instructor

My name is Dominika Bzdula, and I am a former elementary art teacher currently pursuing a graduate degree in Counseling with a concentration in Art Therapy. For the past 15 years, I have engaged in painting as a means of artistic expression, a practice that has served as a source of personal growth and intellectual stimulation. My artistic journey has been characterized by a constant exploration of new styles and techniques, which have led me to further develop my creative skills. My teaching philosophy is characterized by patience and an easygoing disposition, fostering an environment conducive to collaborative artistic endeavors. I find profound fulfillment in the creative energy that emerges within a group, whether as an instructor, a student, or a creator. The vast expanse of artistic expression perpetually draws me in, and I am consistently intrigued by the possibilities that lie within.
