Abstraction doesn’t have to be complicated. You can develop ideas for abstractions from small beginnings. Artists will use a variety of simple “starts” to create abstracts in soft pastel and/or mixed media acrylic paintings. Techniques will include loosening up exercises, expressive mark making, automatic drawing and painting and techniques for both pastel and acrylic painting. Artists will use small paintings, crops of photos and previous works and nature drawings to create simple compositions for abstracts. A final critique session will be held two weeks later for works created during the workshop.
