In this exploratory painting and drawing demo, students will delve into a range of creative techniques designed to deepen their artistic expression and sharpen their visual storytelling. We will explore negative painting, where the focus shifts from painting the subject to painting around it; learn how to break down representational images into large shapes; and experiment with pushing color and value beyond the expected to create striking and emotionally resonant compositions.
Using a variety of expressive materials – including acrylic paints, soft pastels, oil pastels and oil sticks – student will learn how to bring their imagery to life on canvas through guided instruction and hands-on experimentation. Emphasis will be placed on personal interpretation, creative risk-taking, and developing a confident, intuitive approach to art-making. Reference images will be provided by the instructor to support and inspire your project.
