The following example was created with closed eye, continuous line, opposite hand and finger painting techniques with brushes and marking tools that I will be introducing to my students in workshops scheduled in France, Mexico, Australia, Portland and Whidbey Island in the upcoming months.
‘Gumball Golden Hour’ introduces collage elements. Favorite sections are cut from a variety of different paintings and incorporated into the student’s art pieces.
The photo beneath is an example of how a day in class might look. We work on multiple pieces simultaneously on the floors, on the tables, whatever feels comfortable. Time is set aside for breaks, critique and discussion.
