Tablescape: Observation and Interpretation

In this one-day workshop, we will paint based on one tabletop set-up filled with an abundance of materials from which we can discover a variety of approaches and personal narratives. Exercises will vary from playing with shape and color as a way of seeing composition to cropping in and zooming out as a way of directing our focus so that each painter finds and expresses what is meaningful to them. With an emphasis on keeping it fast and loose, we will run through a series of small scale painting exercises without the pressure of yielding a finished painting. Bring paints of your choosing!
