Patti Mollica: How to Paint Loose and Bold in Acrylics and Oils ONLINE ONLINE WORKSHOP
All Levels | Painting
If you feel that you are concentrating too much on small details at the expense of a bolder, more dramatic outcome, this step-by-step workshop will help you learn what to paint and more importantly, what to leave out. You will practice using bigger brushes loaded with more paint. With Patti’s instruction, you’ll learn how to infuse paintings with unexpected color by working with simplified values, as well as learning value to color matching. Paintings will get bolder and looser when the paint is applied in a gestural, painterly manner, with fewer and more expressive strokes.

Debra Huse Submit Proof of Vaccination Here Tom Hoffman: Path to Abstraction in Watercolor IN-PERSON WORKSHOP
Realist painters, used to working from external sources, often find it difficult to generate abstract compositions. When they have a photo, a live model, a still life set-up, or a plein air location to refer to, they can simply look from the source to the painting and make any necessary changes. But where do you look if all your images come from inside your own imagination? Isn’t it arbitrary? No, as it draws on familiar resources you use whenever you paint. For example, Tom will show you how to generate serenity by looking at what you already know about color theory. In this workshop, participants will ask the questions that open the path to abstraction. How are the colors distributed on the page? Are all the shapes the same size? Is this symmetry deliberate? What if the warm and the cool colors were allowed to merge? Hard or soft edges? Form or content? You ask the questions; the painting gives you the answers.
