"Moving and Shaking In Abstraction"-Abstract Painting Workshop

September 27, 2018
10:00 AM - 3:00 PM

During this 3 day abstract painting workshop ,you will learn how to let loose and paint like you mean it! Taught by Eileen Olson, in this expressive abstract workshop you will use instinct, and passion as your guide. Using different media, you will move beyond your fears and begin to trust your artistic intuition once again. Learn the concepts of simplicity, constraint & predominance while painting with expressive vigor. Understand the concept of “flux and obliteration”. Paint over, layer and scrape, to create visual texture, depth, energy and emotion.

On the first day we will begin with a few exercises to free your mind. Then work on several small paintings at a time to keep the energy flowing. You will paint on 10”x10” sheets of paper that will be pre-coated with gesso. You will graduate to a large canvas or panel. Bring your usual painting gear, an open mind, and lots of enthusiasm. There will be plenty of emphasis on creative thinking.
