Supply List

Let’s dive into the deep end of color and wild marks, using multiple layers of oil and cold wax. Our emphasis will be on painting vibrant and colorful abstracted landscapes, while working in a grid. We will create nine 8×8-inch abstracted landscapes, each an individual painting, but when put together they will create a 24×24-inch exploratory grid of our work. As we paint these individual paintings, our use of color, marks, and texture will cross-pollinate the surfaces of our nine paintings.  

 We will apply oil and cold wax using squeegees and palette knives, and experiment with paint, building texture, scraping away earlier layers, and then doing it all again. We will work intuitively and energetically on our nine substrates, exploring how to integrate variety yet individuality in this unified series.  

 You will be challenged to exaggerate your lines and marks, create patterns and texture across the surface of the substrates, and use colors that are outside your usual palette. We will play and experiment, staying loose and free as we apply paint intuitively and energetically.
