Mary Ann Beckwith "The Brush and Beyond"
The
“Brush and Beyond” Workshop will be an art altering experience! The
energy filled days will explore creative methods of watermedia
application, including texturing and the building of layers of
paint.
Participants will be exposed to new
techniques and materials that will allow them to better express their
visions and ideas through their paintings. The methods taught and
materials utilized will be suitable for both representational and
abstract imagery.
Demonstrations and discussions will
encompass and focus on composition and design, how to recharge your
work, sources of inspiration and the business of being an artist.
Each day will include plenty of time for painting and optional
critiques.
The heart of the workshop will be to
develop a strong sense of style in water media and mixed media while
emphasizing the creative approach to making images. New tools
will be constructed from commonly found elements and materials. For
example, through exposure to the various, new materials and techniques
each workshop attendee will find themselves better expressing their
individual ideas and visions in their work.
Demonstrations and
discussions will include exploring mixed media, approaching the subject
with a fresh eye toward composition and design.
Finally,
throughout the workshop the business of being an artist, including
setting goals and priorities will be discussed. Each participant
will discover how to become “inspired” and how to network as an
artist.
Each day’s schedule will allow for plenty of painting time.
This workshop promises to be lively, energetic and best of all fun filled!
