For the last Modern Painting class this session,
we talked about edges, surfaces, and texture.
This is one of the most personal and expressive elements to painting,
so I wasn’t surprised to see such varying interpretations of the ideas.
We painted over old paintings and used
charcole, oil sticks, knives, screens, etc.
to apply and manipulate the paint.
Note the added paper!
This was a happy surprise!
Look at the thick paint on that boat!
This new format seemed to work well for everyone, especially me.
The group was made up of 12 talented, experienced painters,
all working in different mediums.
Each week we discussed and explored a new
design element of painting;
then each artist worked independently.
We spent a lot time experimenting and sharing our results
and certainly, everyone benefits from that.
I hope to be doing more of these classes soon.
Stay Tuned:
I’m taking a Procreate (I Pad) class !
