Workshop Description: Establish a 6-week daily art practice and create a series of works with an accountability coach. You will be guided each week in the steps to goal setting, series synthesis, time management, handling challenges, chronicling insights, and celebrating successes. All media artists are welcome. Just show up! Your accountability coach will inspire the discipline to create 6 to 40 drawings or paintings! Working in a series has many benefits. It is a tool to process an event, emotion, and even relationships. If you do anything for 40 days it will change your life! The workshop is limited to 7 participants.

Materials Needed: We will discuss this in the first session. A journal or sketchbook would be good for taking notes. You will need to get your own supplies for whatever you plan to be doing- could be drawing in a sketchbook, or painting 40 mini canvases. Only limited by your imagination
