WORKSHOP San Diego, Quietly Upscale

to Sep 14

WORKSHOP San Diego, Quietly Upscale

  • Woodward Contemporary (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Join me and let’s work together as we learn and practice the AbD techniques on large scale panels while focusing on quieting our work.                                      

Upscale: In this workshop we expand our surface dimensions as we upscale to large and mid size cradled panels

Quietly: As the cliche suggests “Less is More”.. So, Let’s keep it simple. To accomplish this approach and keep our work quiet (not busy) requires discipline in our creative process  from start to finish.

We focus on this discipline by pre- designing, pre mixing and pre- selecting our materials and colors. We then segue by referencing visual triggers, inspiring images, personal notions and ideas of color and composition.

Referencing visual triggers and pre-editing at the very beginning of our project acts as a regulator, encouraging one to keep it simple by guiding us to selectively add and remove color, lines, forms and shapes incrementally and with purpose to create quiet abstract compositions. In other words we simplify the creative process by setting a quiet disciplined approach to the work.

OFF GRID WORKSHOP

FEDERATION of CANADIAN ARTISTS (FCA) CALGARY AB CANADA

This workshop begins with the practice of editing and limiting both palette and materials. These limitations can be challenging but also offer a pathway to making more thoughtful material and design choices.

Throughout the workshop we will aim to create refined textured surfaces and commit equal importance to both the subtle and bold elements in our work.
