Pence Adult Art Programs

In this 3-week workshop, artist Misuk Goltz will focus on the importance of value studies. Through value studies, students will learn how to simplify complex subjects, organize a composition, establish strong lighting, and create a solid foundation for a full-color painting. Participants will paint a new subject each week, along with a corresponding value study. For this workshop, participants should be familiar with the basics of drawing and watercolor painting.

Under the guidance of artist Sara Post, students will work with base layers, drawings, gel prints and other paper sources—either as themselves or as part of a collage. While building layers, participants will add other media including paint, crayons, colored pencil and/or Art Graf. To promote experimentation, students may work with a variety of materials—oil paint mixed with cold wax medium or with acrylic paints. During the workshop, emphasis will be placed on intuitive processes and techniques that can yield surprising and exciting results. This workshop is open to artists of all levels who want to create abstract paintings using a mixed media approach.
