Abstract Composition with Watermedia

There is no hard and fast formula for creating good abstract composition, but there are guidelines to help develop your critical perception of what works and what doesn’t. In this workshop, we will explore design principles that can bring a painting to life, using compositional tools that artists have deployed for centuries. Through group critiques, we will explore how these principles can be applied to your own work, giving you the solid foundation you need to continue your own explorations, long after the class is over. I will be doing all demos with watercolor, but you can participate with any watermedia. All classes are supplemented with slide presentations, demo recordings, handouts, and critiques.
