Abstract Painting and the Spirit in Nature
Saturday and Sunday, June 15 and 16, 2019 two day workshop
9am - 4pm
at Gualala Arts Center, Gualala, CA
In this 2-day workshop you will practice abstract acrylic painting techniques that are connected to the spirit in nature. Venture with us into the realm of self-expression by identifying your own unique style. We will begin by identifying our spiritual and emotional connection to the four elements earth, air, fire and water. We will be identifying how each of these elements is sensed and perceived and then translated into abstract painting. Instruction will include demonstrations in basic and advanced acrylic painting techniques including painting with rust to create the patina of age, Sumi ink and Stabillo pencils to create expressive mark making, handmade stenciling and printing to create patterns. Each student will receive individual instruction and group critique.
$155 per person ( Gualala Arts members) $170 (non members)
Please bring acrylic paint, mediums, brushes, canvases or boards detailed list of materials needed will be provided upon registration. Bring a bag lunch.
