    Metal leaf work can really help your work make a statement! In this workshop we will delve into the genre of process artmaking and use metal leaf to enhance our abstract acrylic paintings. Process art is an open-ended exploration of materials and techniques which inspires a sense of discovery. While experimenting with different techniques we will also review the principles of composition and basic color theory. We will explore a variety of ways to create shapes, lines and textures using acrylics, spray paint, stencils and metal leaf work. Bring all your different mark-making tools and materials as well as any artist grade spray paint and stencils you have and I will provide the metal leaf, some of my stencils and some different colors of spray paint. We will create 2 – 4 works of art on canvas. These paintings can be created quickly and I encourage you to work large (18” x 24” up to 30” x 40”.)

You’ll discover how warm and cool tones can transform a simple prickly pear into a work of art, and how layering colors brings your desert scene to life.

I’ll guide you step-by-step, sharing tips on brushwork, blending, and how to use color to tell your own cactus story.
