This workshop is designed for painters who are interested in approaching their work in a lyrical and process-oriented fashion to explore principals of abstraction. Distancing oneself from representation and direct observation to reach abstraction, while maintaining a sense of objectivity, is the focus. Challenging the way you see and reconstructing your approach to painting is emphasized.
You are encouraged to bring in reference material to paint from and appropriate, i.e. sketches, photographs, and imagination, to be used as a departure point from direct observation of typical subject genres. Various painting techniques and approaches are demonstrated and introduced to encourage an overhaul of conventional approaches to painting. Some painting experience is recommended.
