Paint Wisdom Laboratories

INCLUDED IN THE PAINT WISDOM FUNDAMENTALS PROGRAM

Strap on your apron BABY — We're headed for uncharted CREATIVE territory!

In the Paint Wisdom Laboratories, we focus on EXPERIMENTING, PLAYING, and DISCOVERING NEW THINGS, all while observing our creative practices from fresh perspectives.

Each Laboratory session dives into the mechanics of art-making, grounds our exploration in rich art history, and keeps our connection to our Artist Soul at the forefront.

Expect to have fun, be challenged, create some delightful junky-junk, and produce loads of art that will jumpstart an exciting new body of work.

THE PAINT WISDOM LABORATORIES TOOK PLACE LIVE IN 2022

THEY ARE NOW AVAILABLE AS PART OF  PAINT WISDOM FUNDAMENTALS.

EACH PAINT WISDOM LABORATORY RUNS FOR 3 HOURS ON A PRE-RECORDED LIVE ZOOM CALL.

SKINNY-MINI'S 

In this Paint Wisdom Laboratory we experiment and stretch our compositions like taffy as we use Skinny-Mini's as our substrate.

A Skinny-Mini , as I like to call them, are basically any substrates that are long and lean.  I love working on Skinny-Mini's because they get me thinking differently about composition and help pull me out of a creative rut. Many times I start with a typical Skinny-Mini and end up with something totally different because I chop it up into other pieces.

In Skinny-Mini's I will guide you to elongate, compress, squeeze, stretch, minimize, abstract, narrow-in, and simply play with this delightful and sometimes challenging substrate size and shape.

ART GRAF LOVE 

In Art Graf Love I will share with you everything I know and adore about this fabulous water-soluble graphite material.  We'll get cozy with the Art Graf stick, pencils, tin, and the Art Graf Carbon Tailer chalk too. (You're gonna love the carbon tailer chalk -- promise!)

During our three hours together we'll swoon over moody washes, tangle ourselves in drippy graphite details , and sink into seductive ways to combine a limited palette and collage to your Art Graf repertoire.

If you are new to Art Graf or just yearning to add more honesty, rawness, and meaning to your creative practice than this Paint Wisdom Laboratory is for you.

BREATHING ROOM

Are you an artist that struggles with leaving any open, blank space in your paintings or drawings?

Do you cover, crust, and smother every square inch of your substrate like you're icing a stale cake?

Imagine what it would feel like to give your artwork (and yourself) a bit more breathing room. Awwwwwwww.

In this Paint Wisdom Laboratory we are going to use various techniques to create artwork that feels light, airy, and spacious. We'll also examine powerful masterpieces from art history that incorporate breathing room to create drama, express a mood, and make an impact.
