WHAT IF?
Art Rising Retreats, The Connecticut River Valley Inn, Glastonbury, CT
A mixed media workshop discovering your language though materials, process and observation.
This workshop is based on demonstrations of a variety of materials, prompts, and exercises to get to the core of personal meaning. The focus is on exploration, intuition, and pushing out of your comfort zone. Directives include formal elements such as line, shape, space, color, and composition with fast-paced timing based on discovery rather than finished products. Techniques will focus on markmaking, layering, collaging, excavating, combining materials, and more. Some of the materials we will be using include: dirt, coffee, natural materials, inks, acrylic mediums and paint plus cold wax and R&F Pigment Sticks©
