Learn how to develop a unique, intuitive artistic style with Pam Garrison. In this four-part journey, Pam shares her approach to using "action and reaction" to create artwork in a sketchbook. Learn how to draw and doodle using your dominant and non-dominant hands and create backgrounds with collage and abstract brush strokes.

I love Pam's artistic style and teaching voice and her kind encouragement to play without fear and overthinking. I've already been using these similar techniques in my art but not in the same order and not with as much freedom. I hope to incorporate these newly learned tricks into my creative repertoire. Thank you Pam!
