Hosted by: Hudson River Valley Art Workshops Greenville, NYUnited States

Explore many ways of constructing a painting through merging collage elements with paint acting as the integrating element. Using water-based paint as the basis for the over all composition, start building, layering and merging elements to create an abstracted and expressive interpretation of your subject.

Emphasis will be on interpreting rather than copying, simplifying detail and shapes, and embracing creative opportunities for unexpected results. Find your creative voice as you discover how various media work together and what processes best align with your vision and goals. Leave this workshop with strategies for going beyond traditional realism through combining media for a more personal expression.

Whether you are a complete beginner or just want to take your paintings to the next level, this workshop will help you translate and capture familiar settings in a dramatic and colorful new way. The workshop starts out with a series of exercises in learning how to simplify scenes into their most basic shapes and values. Then students will do a series of exercises working in various traditional color schemes, as well as colors of their choice.  They will be taught methods and techniques for color harmonization that work sucessfully no matter what colors they chose to work in. All will be encouraged to go “beyond the photo”, to depart from the literal and get comfortable using colors that communicate a more personal expression. The workshop will take place in both plein air and a studio setting. The goal of the workshop is to push paintings to a bolder outcome through value simplification techniques and more expressive use of color.  Taught by Patti Mollica, author of “Color Theory” and “How to Paint Fast, Loose and Bold”.
