Paint like a writer! Build your confidence as a visual storyteller learning fun mixed-media techniques using a writerly approach. This workshop-in-a-book is designed to build your confidence as a visual storyteller. Just as novelists do, painters can tap into the power of storytelling to connect emotionally with audiences.
By pairing fun mixed-media techniques with tips and tricks for creating conflict and establishing a moral, you will learn techniques using colour, texture, design and more to unleash the untold stories within through the process of making art. AUTHOR: Cathy Nichols' encaustic paintings are represented by Lyrical Fine Art in NY and exhibited in venues like NY Art Expo at the Javits Center as well as Nahcotta Gallery's Enormous Tiny Art Show. Cathy also enjoys a loyal following of collectors for small works and prints with nearly 2,000 sales on Etsy and well over 8,000 followers. From her LA hub, she has sold paintings to Julia Roberts, Owen Wilson, Susan Sarandon and many other LA natives and tourists. Her work has been featured in the Cameron Diaz film, My Sister's Keeper and online on popular blogs like Decor8, Poppytalk, Real Simple, Simon Says Stamp, Art Biz Mama, Pikaland, Blab, Creative Thursday and Create Mixed Media. SELLING POINTS: Readers will learn valuable art techniques from an author who makes amazing art. They will also learn storytelling skills to increase the value of their art. Intuitive painting art workshops abound, and storytelling is the next logical step from intuitive painting. After readers have learned to trust their inner artist, storytelling becomes a bridge between them and an audience. Perfect for mixed media artists and writers interested in making art or turning art into a story.
