Bold Expressive Portraits

November 12, 2018 by kellywalkerstudios

We had another session of Bold Expressive Portraits yesterday and everyone did beautiful work. Portraits scare most people but if you approach them with the wild abandon of Expressionism you just can’t go wrong. What fun!!!!!!!!!!

I’m back in Raleigh for the 2018 Art of the Carolinas and last night I tried something new….Print Making. I took a workshop with Amy Nack, a print maker from Boise, Idaho. We did Fine Art Nature Printing. It was fun and very different from anything I have done before. Fun to try something new.
