#037- THE LANGUAGE OF ABSTRACTION

In this weekend workshop we study a variety of ways contemporary abstract painters use visual language in their studio practice. We’ll take note on note which methods inspire our individual art through slideshow presentations, informal writing exercises,and instructor demos. We practice balancing intuitive decision making with intentionality.

Working simultaneously on multiple substrates keeps us from overthinking outcomes to stay present with the process. The main emphasis is learning to combine line, mark, and form to create visual interest. Techniques include color-mixing, alternate tools for paint application, mark-making, layering, and use of drawing materials with paint.

Maximum of 8 students.Two 5 hour sessions
