CREATIVE PLAY WORKSHOP

This workshop centers on a creative approach to painting through innovative techniques for expressing familiar subjects. Participants will initiate their artwork with spontaneous paint applications and mark-making, forming the foundational aspects of their pieces.
Using personal drawings, sketchbooks, and references, attendees will enhance their “play pieces” by skillfully combining diverse materials and methods. These methods encompass layering, texturing, image transfers, collage, stamps, stencils, and techniques involving paint layering & lifting to create negative & positive space, etc.
The workshop includes demonstrations, hands-on material exploration – generating initial painting stages, and insightful conversations about design, composition, and thematic content.
