In this workshop, you will learn to loosen up your painting style so that you can paint more expressly. To preserve the freshness and uniqueness of your personal brush stroke, you will learn to paint quickly, loosely, and with playful intention.
First you will complete three short painting exercises flowing from expressive realism to expressive abstraction to expressive nonobjective art forms, following a simple process. The following three paintings are expressive examples of those three art forms.
Left to Right: non-objective, realism, and abstract
You will choose one of the art forms you practiced and use it to create a larger painting following the same loose and expressive process. In this workshop, Susan will demonstrate and coach you as you work.
You will receive a supply list when you register. The $10 extra supply fee is payable at the beginning of the workshop. This fee includes items not available in small quantities.
