WORKSHOP – ABC’S OF ABSTRACTION
9/24-27, 9am - 4pm We cover both the elements of design and the 'mental game' in art-making. Using acrylic and collage, we will explore shape, line, color and texture to craft vibrant paintings that stir the emotions. You will learn organizing principles, painting tips and techniques for overcoming self-doubt and indecision. |
DEMONSTRATION – Marbled Texture - Transform paintings with pattern Rene Eisenbart has found ways to use marbling in her work while retaining her individual style. She will show you how she combines marbled texture with watercolor painting to create expressive watermedia works. Marbling can be applied under the painting, over the paint or applied later as collage. Then Rene will demonstrate how she creates her marbled patterns. She will introduce you to her process for painting over the marbled texture with watercolor and how she adds it later to balance a piece. You won’t want to miss this demonstration of marbling.
Rene Eisenbart is a signature member of NWS and WFWS. She teaches marbling technique along with painting and collage. |
Samyak Yamauchi | Demonstration: Acrylic Mixed Media Sam is planning to start working three to five 21' x 24" canvas panels. She will be using mixed media and tools that are not paint brushes for the demo. Such as small rubber brayer, wooden chopsticks, a small palette knife and her index finger. Sam will chat about her process and think out loud about the process as she painst. She will also share her initial fear of becoming a painter, how she overcame that fear, and what she does to keep having fun and moving forward as a painter and artist. Comments and questions are welcome throughout the session. |
