As a part of her demonstration, this artist is prepared to get dirty. Alvarez dips her fingers in paints — starting with primary colors — and starts mixing the color right on the surface of her medium. From there, she makes shapes and begins to work on shading her subjects. She often does paintings of animals — her passion.
“It’s my goal to reach out to all ages and backgrounds,” Alvarez said about the purpose of her art walk demonstrations. “I hope to engage more adults because I think with our busy schedules we lose contact with our creativity. I would like for this experience to spark creative thoughts.”
