About The Class
Instructor: Michael Shemchuk
Medium: Mixed Media
Workshop Title: Principles of Abstraction by Design
The Abstraction by Design method is a mixed media process in which one applies paper and paint to panels in simultaneous layers. Build up a surface that enables you to sand, scrape, saturate, peel, paint, collage and repeat multiple times to create textured workable surfaces. Based on the practice of Action - Reaction - Repeat, the workshop will explore the fundamentals of color, material selection/editing, color mixing, textures, composition, design and balance. Some painting experience helpful.
