The Elements of Abstract Painting

This summer I will be teaching an intensive 5 day workshop on Vancouver Island in Victoria, about the elements of abstraction. In this weeklong workshop, you will learn some basic design elements that will give you more confidence to work without a predetermined plan. By letting intuition guide your brush and decide your color choices, you will accept “mistakes” as opportunities. You will experiment with materials to your inner landscape and discover your unique way to make lines, dots, pattern, and shapes that will contribute to your abstract composition. Through an understanding of how values work in a painting, you will use light and dark to create visual depth. You will also learn how to combine colors effectively to enhance vibrancy and harmony in your paintings. This workshop will show you how abstract painting can be about embracing spontaneity and trusting your creative instincts.
