ABSTRACT PAINTING ON SILK ( 2 days )

Bold and dynamic or subtle and evocative…abstraction is the most mysterious of all approaches to painting on silk. Abstraction can help me to see the world in a new way. We will create structure through resists and intensity with layers of color. Texture from various techniques and manipulation of layering gives complexity and depth.

Acrylic washes for finishing.

Thinned gutta and non-toxic resists will be presented.

Materials fee: $15.
