San Miguel de Allende Workshops
Almost every month, I teach one- and two-day workshops as well as an occasional weeklong workshop.
ABSTRACTING THE FIGURE
DTA, 10–4 pm
$135 USD + $35 USD for all supplies
This class explores 16 techniques that may be used in the abstraction of the portrait or figure. Don’t be confused by the terms “abstraction” and “abstract” in art. They are quite different. Abstraction hides the complexity of an object by it’s composition. In abstract art the main goal is to be non-representational. You will come home with several finished pieces.
