"Setting the Tone While Pushing Your Limits"
In this well paced workshop, learn what it takes to have your work noticed from across the room and compel the viewer to come in for a closer look. Using techniques from the 17th to 21st centuries in a short sequential series of enjoyable exercises, students will begin with a simple still life then advance to the subject matter of choice. While not in the typical plein air setup of Nimrod Hall workshops, the strategies taught here will create a stronger sense of presence, eye travel and illusionary space in your work- beneficial for any style from realism to non-representational. Instead of focusing on one or two finished pieces, several short studies will be created.
Since this is a technique driven workshop, it is not media sensitive. Drawing, watercolor, acrylic and oils are all welcome. While a digital/phone camera would be helpful, it is not essential.
Please feel free to email the instructor, Kathy Calhoun at KathleenCalhounStudio@gmail.com with any questions.
Limit 8 participants.
