Celia Forestal Smith: Abstract Intuitive Painting, Strengthen your Art
Event Information
About this Event
In this course we will be exploring the building blocks of the visual language; Composition, Tonal Values, Colour, Textures, learning to take more risks and putting more of yourself (your Soul) into your work.
Discovering what makes us feel more alive and becoming more conscious of using ‘differences’ in our work is key to making paintings have the ‘wow’ factor.
We will be creating a series of paintings on a set of 3 – 6 primed hardboard panels using acrylic paint. We will also use collage, texture gels, and oil pastel. Our tools include paintbrushes, trowels, straight edges, rollers, old credit cards, printing gelli plates, screw drivers, squeegies and sand paper. Lots of experimenting and freeing up!
