Description: This two-day Workshop offers the opportunity to learn and or re-fine the Cold Wax/Oil, basics techniques, but more importantly we look at how geometric shapes can be arranged in nonrepresentational spaces and bring up ideas or “real life,” which is often called constructive or concrete art. Abstract geometric art is about hidden meanings, analogies, protests, deliberate simplification to prove that everything complicated is simple. 

Cost $495.00 Tax & materials included

On the first day we cover the basics:  Mark-making for structure and expression, color mixing, substrate preparation, tools and paint applications,  the foundational layers, texture, collage significance and placement, the stages of dryness, working wet-in-wet, mechanical and solvent reductions and finally the best practices for finishing your work.\

On day two we center on abstraction and geometry. We start by looking at the work of the most famous representatives,  Kandinsky, Malevich, Kupka and Mondrian. The method of abstract constructions that they developed was an expression of internal laws and entities comprehended by intuition, which are hidden behind the transient phenomena of the visible world. We will discuss how by looking inwardly we can create personal narratives through lines, shapes, forms and colors.
