Contemporary Abstract Painting

Hudson River Valley Art Workshops

July 14th-20th, 2024

For many years, I have always leaned towards a palette of bright, bold, expressive colors in my paintings, but I also craved using a neutral palette for a sense of calmness or serenity. I just didn’t know how to move from the saturated to the unsaturated until I discovered a few key secrets to compositional success using a limited palette. Students will be led through several days of exploration of abstract painting on paper, canvas, and wood.

Over the course of the workshop, students will study:
• Design principles and how to apply their knowledge to the work they are creating.
• Color mixing in a neutral palette
• Explore minimalist painting vs. multi-layered mixed media work.
• Experiment with shapes and unusual line work to create interest in one’s art.
• Playful daily exercises and prompts to start brainstorming ideas and activities to invite exploration of one’s art journey.
• Using nature to guide us in our hues.
• How to bring back in color and let it shine through working with some key concepts of design.

Contemporary Abstract Painting With Acrylics

September 8th-13th, 2024

If you are an artist who wants to dig deeper into abstract painting or one who wants to explore something new and exciting, “Contemporary Abstract Painting using Acrylics “will guide you along in that journey of discovery.   Throughout this 4-day workshop, students will learn to practice their craft through exercises designed to stretch their wings.  We will be working on both paper and canvas, but students can bring wood surfaces as well if they prefer a sturdier substrate.  While we will primarily use acrylic paint, students will also explore working with charcoal, a variety of drawing instruments, assorted mark-making tools, and mediums to expand our paint texture and viscosity.
