Intuitive Painting
local workshop | This program is completed
This workshop is designed to teach all levels of students to paint intuitively, starting without preconceived notions or outcome. There will be no preliminary planning or drawing. Process will dictate direction as students use watercolor, ink and gouache to implement elements and principles of design. Instruction will start with random ink marks, then color using a mixture of ink, watercolor and gouache to create a library of design elements. There will be regular comments and evaluation of work in progress concerning relationships between elements and principles. It is entirely possible finished work may be representational, but the goal is work which is compositionally pleasing and aligned with the artist's personal aesthetic. www.stankurth.com
Stan Kurth
Artist and workshop instructor Stan Kurth created his first oil painting at the age of four. It was at that time he knew he would be an artist. An aunt, who was an artist and instructor, was a major influence. His focus and dedication to his work have earned him signature member status in several watercolor societies including the National Watercolor Society, San Diego Watercolor Society, Western Federation of Watercolor Societies - Master, Arizona Watercolor Association and Contemporary Watercolorists of Arizona. Stan is a third generation native Arizonan.
