One Day Workshops
May: Henri Matisse-style Interiors

Henri Matisse (1869-1954) has long been recognized as one of the greatest painters of the 20th century. Matisse was a descendent of generations of weavers. His interiors often feature a multitude of textile patterns, open windows and bright colors. He famously said he wished his art to be “…something like a good armchair which provides relaxation from physical fatigue.” In this workshop we will put together original compositions and try out some of his techniques to create our own pleasing paintings.

Oct: Mark Rothko, Colorfield Painting
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Make as many as 3 paintings in one day! Using acrylic inks, rags, rollers, and brushes. Most of the day will be spent painting intertwined with color theory and demonstration of technique, with a time to reflect and share at the end. “We are for flat forms because they destroy illusion and reveal truth," Mark Rothko famously said. Come see what this groundbreaking minimalist meant. (Bring a brown bag lunch)
