Realism to Abstraction: A Painting Workshop
In this painting workshop we’ll look at how artists have used realism as a starting point to explore unique ways of seeing and interpreting the natural world, and to access the artists’ inner world. Working from examples and a still life, we’ll explore elements of painting that apply to both abstraction and realism: composition, interactive shapes and forms, brushwork, color and more. Techniques, processes and the ideas behind them will be emphasized.
Instructor: Michael Wilson
Required Materials (not supplied): Acrylic or oil paint, canvas or paper, a sketchbook, and a pencil.
