The Daily Drill

Day One – I will demonstrate how to do an angular abstract painting with three steps that you can watch and learn from.  This will involve an initial drawing followed by blocking in the primary colors leaving a center of interest for later development. Next will be working from light to dark and development of the center of interest.  Last will be additional enhancement of the painting.

Day Two –will involve doing an intuitive abstract where I will demo a lot of different approaches for you to choose from in your painting.  This will involve using many different materials you may choose to use.  I will bring stencils for use by you, tape of various widths, salt, alcohol, etc.  Bring a mouth atomizer if you have one, you may want it for texture.  Most of all, bring an open mind.

Day Three  – will involve a series of demos for doing a painting of abstract glasses and bottles.  This will be a very fun one that everyone in the past has fully enjoyed.
