Step into a creative space where drawing and collage come together in a dynamic and intuitive way. Line & Layer is an immersive workshop led by mixed media artist Ashley Gaboury, designed to help you explore how expressive lines and thoughtful layering can transform simple ideas into rich, visually compelling artwork. We will begin exploring line work using pencil, acrylic paint markers, and ink to build confidence and develop your personal mark-making style. From there, you will learn how to bring your work to life through layering techniques, combining paper, imagery, and mixed media elements to create depth, texture, and meaning. Through guided demonstrations and hands-on exercises, Ashley will share her process for moving from sketch to finished piece while strengthening your sense of composition and developing your visual language. This workshop encourages curiosity, experimentation, and letting go of perfection so you can create work that feels authentic and alive. Whether you are looking to expand your practice or try something new, this intensive offers a welcoming environment to explore, take creative risks, and connect with your artistic voice. Beginner’s welcome. A GOLDEN OPEN Starter Set will be included; brushes and some additional supplies will be provided.
