About the Workshop
This class will use a variety of 2 dimensional media (watercolor, ink, acrylic paint, collage, and colored pencil) to explore art making through intuition. Artists can expect to find insight, inspiration, and confidence through concrete exercises that emphasize play, letting go of the outcome, and positive feedback.
About Lettie Jane Rennekamp
​Lettie Jane Rennekamp (she/they) is an artist, teacher, and mother living in Portland, OR. Her work often centers on the body and what it means to inhabit a body in this world. She uses illustrations depicting people, plants, and patterns to try to capture more abstract ideas like moving through grief or self-acceptance. They love to experiment with materials and can be found using watercolor, colored pencils, acrylic paint, and charcoal in one painting. She finds joy in both the reverence for art materials and disregarding any preciousness about their use​
