DRAWING/PAINTING – FALL SHORT SESSION
SEPTEMBER 22 – 27, 2024 (4 STUDIO DAYS)
Chuck Webster
Exploring Materials and Mark Making
When making art, each material brings its own qualities to your practice. In this workshop we will get loose and work without fear as we will explore traditional materials, such as oil, acrylic, watercolor, charcoal, and pencil, along with new, found materials, such as dirt, pebbles, bark, grass, and any materials students wish to bring with them. We will find ways to use and combine these, learning how materials behave physically and how they impact each other. Students will gain a new comfort level with their work and leave with energy, ideas, and a fresh perspective on their process. All levels.
