Oil Painting into Abstraction
Workshop | Available
This course is for realist painters wanting to incorporate more abstraction in their work and for abstract painters seeking guidance in developing their expression. The focus will be on accessing one’s inner voice to inform abstract expression while learning unique techniques developed by Marianne Mitchell to create luminous light and color in oil paint. The relationship between emotional expression, compositional skill and technical facility will be emphasized in discussion and demonstrations in oil paint while each student is supported on their artistic journey throughout the workshop. www.mariannemitchell.com
