"Swimming in Paint" is always about following the light, painting shapes with colour and energy!
Over the weekend, at Crossroads Art Center, the team will again step up to the "BIG" challenge "THINKING BIG WHEN IT COMES TO OUR ART" The 3-day workshop is primarily to push the team beyond a safe space.
As painting coach I urged the use of long broad deliberate strokes. This is a wonderful opportunity to explore energy painting, moving with the natural lines of our subject - stepping back to observe progress and adjusting our progress. Working towards the ultimate goal, intuitive painting......it requires some confidence and space to do it.
One of my most favorite things we did in Swimming-in-Paint was the 3-day Large Format workshop last month. We set up (2) workshops towards the end of the season to give the team an opportunity to show their stuff! The team relentlessly explores different painting subjects each week, working on paint quality, continually studying composition at a distance and closeup into finished paintings.
This is another wonderful opportunity for team members to bring all their experience gained each week doing 30x30s to a "BIG" conclusion.
