ABSTRACT ART AN ENCAUSTIC MONOTYPE WORKSHOP
With JORGE LUIS BERNAL
i
2020 Saturday and Sunday
April 18th and 19th 10 am to 4 pm
$395.00
Making Abstract Art? By definition Abstract Art is a 20th-century movement characterized by the reduction of natural appearances into simplified forms; for example, constructing art on the basis of geometric shapes or intuitive gestures. Likewise, Nonobjective Art by definition doesn’t depend on the appearance of the visual world as a starting point; the assumption is that art doesn’t have to be about anything other than formal elements: shape, color and expressed emotions.
Description: This workshop is for artists who are motivated to learn more about creating expressive, simple yet bold encaustic abstract monotypes. We will start with some color exercises and talk about the weight of color, techniques and experimentation. Discuss, geometry, repetition and “What holds everything together”? The second day is about the power of color and constraint in art. We will look at Minimalism and the many variables we deal with, in creating a painting. How to simplify things? How do we take a concept and boil it down to its essence?
Lots of time for action-filled painting and personalized attention.
Be prepared to paint looser, bolder, freer, lighter and more intuitively.
