SQUARED

Grids Lines Patterns

Corner to Corner

This workshop focuses on  the square format as we explore grids, lines and patterns corner to corner to create mixed media artwork using the AbD method and introducing SbD Subtraction by Design, the Peel to Reveal technique. Let’s have some fun as we choose colors, textures and layout within the square.

Abstraction by Design

Application: The Abstraction by Design method is a mixed media process in which one applies paper and paint to panels in simultaneous layers. We build up a surface that enables one to sand, scrape, saturate, peel, paint, collage and repeat multiple times to create textured workable surfaces.

Acrylic urethane/varnish is used as both a glue and a top coat and house paint as our materials

Design:

The design approach is based on the A R R practice of Action. Review. React

We focus on exploring the fundamentals of color and material selecting, color mixing, composition and balance.
