“Improvisation On Canvas”  is a 3 hour workshop, where you'll paint to jazz music, from a curated playlist, focusing on abstract expression using texture and colors. Inspired by Be Bop era artists like Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis alongside modern jazz composers, you'll learn to “hear” in color and “listen” for shapes.

Join recognized artist and experienced teacher Kathy Kosins as she leads you through an exciting adventure. Kathy will provide individual guidance and encourage the use of alternate materials (that she will supply) for applying paints.

Students need to bring a few various sized canvases, paints and brushes they would like to use.  Kathy suggests acrylic paint. (Nothing really large, please.)

At the end of the class, you'll have the opportunity to share your work, learn from others, and discuss your creative process.

About Kathy Kosins:

"I reside in two worlds. One as a composer of music and one as a composer of art. Growing up in Detroit in the 1960s, I was serenaded by many forms of music and I specially soaked up modern jazz and American classics. In my 20’s, I performed as a lead singer in a rhythm and blues band and toured nationally. That propelled me to an award-winning career as a composer and performer of jazz and soul music. I’ve recorded six albums and eight singles and have performed throughout the United States and internationally from Beijing to London. Since 2014, I have become an interdisciplinary artist, merging music and creating improvisational art on the stage, a presentation that blends my two loves, singing and painting. I am self taught, both as an artist and as a vocalist/composer. I hear color and see sound and translate them both onto the canvas. "
