Unlock your creativity and take your art to the next level in this dynamic, hands-on workshop! Inspired by the intricate patterns and bold mark-making of Gustav Klimt, we’ll explore a series of fun and creative prompts designed to push your artistic boundaries. Using mixed media techniques like watercolor, acrylic, stencils, soft pastels, and collage, you’ll create a large, expressive piece of artwork on watercolor paper.

But that’s just the beginning! Once your paper is filled with rich layers of color, marks, and textures, we’ll cut it down into artist trading card-sized pieces. Each card will serve as a mini piece of art, and you’ll write the creative prompt that inspired it on the back. By the end of the class, you’ll have your own deck of personalized inspiration cards—perfect for pulling from when you need fresh ideas for future projects!

Whether you’re a beginner looking to explore new techniques or an experienced artist wanting to recharge your creative practice, this class offers something for everyone. You’ll walk away with a unique set of mini artworks and a toolkit of prompts to inspire your next creative adventure.
