Beyond words:

an abstract painting workshop

with local artist, eric twait

saturday, November 7

11 am - 1 pm

$5 for crossing arts members

$10 for non-members

Join artist Eric Twait for a playful, expressive studio session where you will explore the power of words, feelings, and color. This workshop invites you to turn your emotions into abstract artwork, using descriptive language and reflection to spark creative ideas. Eric will share his own process by bringing one finished painting and one work‑in‑progress, giving everyone a behind‑the‑scenes look at how abstract art evolves.

You will work on canvases with acrylic markers that will be provided, experimenting freely as you blend words, moods, and color into unique pieces of art. With a small group capped at 12, everyone gets space to create, connect, and express themselves in a supportive environment.
