Kathleen is known for her generous sharing of her knowledge of materials, methods of working and experience in the business of being an artist. Bring your sense of adventure and enthusiasm for this high-energy, fully-packed workshop. Painting became a focus of Kathleen Conover's life when at a very young age she received her first set of paints and won her first award in a regional school competition. Growing up in southern California she was exposed to an art-rich environment and surrounded by working artists, nationally acclaimed instructors and a strong "California School of Art" style of contemporary painting.

Design and composition: that evasive element that elevates a painting from ordinary to award-winning is the main focus of Kathleen's class. Whether you are a representational painter or totally abstract, a beginner or advanced, strengthening your design and compositional skills will help you create your best, dynamic artwork. The focus of the workshop is design, composition and experimentation. The first step in making "chaos" includes texturing techniques, layering methods, lots of color and an experimental attitude to jump-start dynamic, energetic and expressive paintings. Kathleen teaches specific lessons and shares her tricks for applying the concepts of design elements and principles, color theories, layering, finishing and editing techniques to bring the chaos to "order."
