About this Workshop:This workshop stresses bold composition and strong design using the human figure for inspiration. A different aspect of design is the focus of each day’s lesson: shape, light, linkage, texture, space, etc. We will explore abstraction, emphasize “the process” and concentrate on composing the entire page. There will be clothed models that will be our subject for finding as many different ways as possible of “seeing.” Each participant’s preferences, originality, and creativity are most important. Carla will be using transparent watercolor and gouache and include frequent mini-demonstrations with this medium in a direct painting method. |
