This is a 2-week project.


Warm-up + Project

We will begin by playing with ideas around the edge of the paper and trying different materials. Please have several sheets of paper available. A few materials to consider :watercolors, water oil pastels, colored pencils, acrylics, inks. I am interested in exploring Francis’ use of the the white space, not having a full saturated painting with color.

This idea will be our concentration for the project. After experimental play, choose the direction that you wish to complete a final piece.
