August 21 & 22, 2010
Carmel, CA $295.


>> Registration Information, Lodging and Directions

Collage and mixed media have made major advances in the past year with many innovative acrylic techniques. Gather up your favorite papers, photos, fabrics, drawings, etc. and join us for a fabulous weekend of layering fluid acrylics, gel mediums, and a wide variety of collage items. We will spend the first morning layering transparent and opaque collage materials and mediums as textural components for the ground or structure of our paintings. As we move into the afternoon, various scraping, sanding, and other reduction techniques will be added for those who wish to reveal some of the layers underneath. Additional techniques such as transfers will also be demonstrated.

We will finish our pieces with a succession of transparent layers of Gel Medium, Transparent Acrylics, and final collage elements. Students will be encouraged to work on multiple pieces with the intention of producing a small series of work.


Experience: Open to painters of all levels!

  Exploring Abstract Painting: Discover The Magic  
 
November 21 & 21, 2010

Carmel, CA $295.

Join us for a dynamic acrylic intuitive abstract painting workshop at our spacious light infused Carmel workshop. The workshop is two days and will focus on the intuitive painting experience. Students will be prompted to suspend all preconceived ideas and embark on a fun, spontaneous painting journey directed largely by personal intuition, style and emotion.

Along the way we will guide the development and composition of our work by learning to identify emerging patterns, by defining our own unique symbols and color schemes, and by creating the illusion of space through edge variation and the use of lights and darks.

Throughout the weekend demos integrating a variety of tools, techniques and surfaces will be interspersed with hands-on painting sessions. NEW to this class: We will also be covering new "amazing" acrylic techniques including a demo on how to create "faux encuastic"!

Experience: Open to painters of all levels!

Experience: Painters of all levels are welcome! Some knowledge of Acrylic is helpful but not necessary.
