Robert Burridge Art Workshop 2013 Art in the Mountains Art Workshop

Think Matisse, Rauschenburg,

Diebenkorn, Motherwell… and you!

Bob will guide you to paint the way

you have always wanted to paint.

Using your own ragbag of cool stuff

to glue and assemble, plus acrylic

paint and your off-center

imagination, you will learn how to

begin a new fresh body of work with

your own artistic voice and point of

view. And, imagine painting with no

brushes! This wild workshop is

about jumping off the cliff and

creating artwork no one has ever

seen you do. Burridge is the

Honorary President of the

International Society of Acrylic

Painters.
