Course description:
When asked what my “Creative Process” course is about I say, “Its everything you ever wanted to know about art but didn’t learn in art school”. These are things which every artist should know in order to deal effectively with color, composition, mass, line, shape, design and even creativity itself and yet are frequently not available. I have developed easy and fun ways of making these concepts available to everyone who has the desire to learn them whether a beginner or an experienced artist. Enjoy learning creative methods and practical ideas that will really help you to loosen up and achieve some exciting artistic results. We will focus especially on how to use color and compositional principles to create depth, power and visual impact. We will learn how to combine watercolors, acrylic inks, water-soluble crayons and other interesting materials in exciting and surprising ways. Some special new materials will be supplied to the class by Savoir Faire, importer of the world’s finest art materials. There will be ample guidance, demonstrations and lots of new ideas this year for your stimulating and power-packed three day creative adventure.
