EMBRACE THE PRACTICE™/DAILY PAINTING
Let’s Start a Daily Painting Practice Together!
Let's start a daily painting practice together virtually onTBA (recordings available if you can't make it in person). We'll talk about simplifying the painting process, obstacles, habit building, and ways to stay motivated. We'll also hold each other accountable - the class meets virtually twice with time in between to get into the habit by posting daily on a private page where I will provide feedback every day and your classmates can too! Space is limited to create a trusted cohort and allow for personalized feedback
The Bigger Picture Workshop - This one-day intensive workshop combines demos, in-class assignments, and individual instruction to teach students the techniques to create fresh, deliberate marks and subject matter on a big canvas.

Lisa Daria Kennedy grew up along the northeast edge of the Hockomock Swamp in Massachusetts.
Since 2009, she has committed to an on-going consecutive daily painting project. As a young adult cancer survivor, she discovered living is not just surviving. Each painting seeks to give a voice to the fiber of the
everyday. Kennedy received a BA from Roger Williams University, and a BFA and MFA from Massachusetts College of Art and Design. Currently she is the Design Editor for the literary publication, Mount Hope and an
Assistant Professor at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design in Boston, MA.
