Intuitive Abstract Painting
with Casey Cheuvront
December 15: Sunday, 11am–4pm
This workshop focuses on intuitive, instinctive mark-making and painting, allowing student painters to work without preconceived plan or design, and permitting intuitive elements to occur naturally through the creative process.
We will begin with a brief review of basic art principles, a brief demo, and move into materials management and hands-on painting.
