Fearless Faces With Dayna Collins 2026

Dayna is offering a full day of drawing and painting wonky faces with an emphasis on loose and free, not realistic and precise. Using prompts, warm-ups, and lots of art materials, Dayna will guide everyone through loose drawing and painting to create a series of Fearless Faces. This workshop will be a fast-paced, lively day of artmaking, with a focus on color, abstraction, and pushing limits. No experience is required!
