For painters who are interested in distancing themselves from reality and direct interpretation of subjects, this workshop will explore abstraction, while maintaining a sense of objectivity. An emphasis will be placed on changing the way one sees through painting and using the medium to transform reality.
Students will be encouraged to bring in reference material and appropriate imagery from which to paint, including sketches and photographs, combined with the use of one’s imagination. These materials will serve as departure points from direct observation of typical subject genres. Various painting techniques and approaches will be demonstrated and introduced to encourage new pathways of expression. Participants can work in any type of water or oil-based paint on canvas, panel, or paper. Some painting experience is recommended. Directions to the artist’s studio will be supplied upon registration. |
