Instant Abstraction using a Grid w/Marc Josloff
Workshop | Available
A miraculous approach to abstraction ala Chuck Close.
For all skill levels.
“Abstraction” is a passion for some and a dirty word for others, yet It is hard to find one museum-calibre artist who has not understood the importance of abstraction, either in their preparation or their finished product.
In only one session, using the shapes in a tic tac toe game, you will be guided in learning how to simplify and interpret subject matter. You will create an abstract work of art that will stir your imagination, enlarge your skill set… and make you a stronger artist.
