Abstract Composition with Watercolor
Fridays, 9:30 am to 12:30 pm

Sept. 20 to Nov. 1st (7 weeks)
Gage Academy of Art

There is no hard and fast formula for creating good abstract composition, but there are guidelines to help develop your critical perception of what works and what doesn’t. In this workshop, we will create watercolor studies exploring concepts of balance and contrast, using value, scale, color, intensity, and texture as variables. Then, through observation and critique, we will examine ways to solve compositional problems. Examples by noted water media artists will be shown throughout the workshop. All paper will be supplied.
Cost: $330
