Intuitive Mark-Making

When: Next Experience Scheduling Soon
Where: TBD
Cost: $50

This creative combining of artistic technique training with freeform mark-making will expand your creative expression. In this workshop, you’ll discover or reawaken the visual artist in you and begin or deepen your own art practice.

Join artist and designer Cristina Rutter for an adventurous exploration in mark-making.

Cristina sets the stage for your creative journey by demonstrating different ways to use the materials. You’ll work through creative exercises, playing with simple marks, color, and composition, then responding in the moment to what’s on the page. Cristina coaches you individually to help you recognize your default marks and push beyond them.

The mark-making knowledge you take with you can be used any time you feel the urge to express yourself, experiment with art supplies, or add energy and life into another art form. (Cristina uses mark-making in almost every painting she creates!)

There is no art experience required, and all materials are provided.

Workshop Artist: Cristina Rutter
Cristina is an abstract, intuitive painter living and working near the foothills outside of Denver, Colorado. She earned a BA in Art & Design from the University of Wisconsin, Madison and is also the founder of Sunny Day Design, a one-woman graphic design studio.

For the past four years Cristina has shown her artwork at spaces in the RiNo Art District as well as NKollectiv and NEXT galleries. She has also worked with art consultancies in Denver and Oakland on large reproductions of her art.

Her theory of art-making is that every artwork she creates has something to teach her—and if she hasn’t learned anything, the artwork isn’t finished.
