WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION: This workshop is designed to introduce you to a variety of creative approaches that you can use on ANY subject matter. We just happen to be applying them to animals. Learn how to create something original rather than merely copying a photo. You will discover new ways to apply paint (and drip, remove, and scrape it), experiment with different surfaces, use unconventional color palettes, incorporate patterns, and more. As you work through each project, using a selection of inspiring reference photos, the focus will be on exploration and creativity. This workshop embraces less traditional approaches than other animal workshops, encouraging you to explore and play. |
