CLASS DESCRIPTIONS:

PART 1: WATERCOLOUR - Henny will guide you through a different approach with water colour. This is not the traditional style of water colour painting but rather a more loose and unique format. What is called a “negative approach” of painting is by far a positive experience that will in lighten and inspire you. By using only basic colours and minimal supplies you will paint from behind an object that you create and bring that shape forward in your artwork. No formal art experience necessary. This is a very easy Water Colour workshop with great results.

PART 2: COLLAGE - This introduction to collage will include a brief review of what has been done by other artists in the past, what is being done by contemporary artists and mostly, what can be experienced by adults new to the world of art as well as those more experienced. In a friendly and fun atmosphere, the teacher will guide each student in exploring various approaches and techniques of collage.

PART 3: ABSTRACTIONS- This class will develop a different way of see towards lateral abstraction of tradition visual objects and subjects. While intuitive and loose methods may be utilized, students will be required to apply their design elements to produce harmonious compositions for finished 2 dimensional paintings. Water media watercolour, guaoche, acrylic, pastels or crayon may be used with graphite, conte, pencil crayon and other mixed media materials.. Class critiques will take place at the end of session(s). It is recommended that students bring a minimum of 2 small stretched canvases, watercolour or acrylic paints and painting equipment to create geometric and/or abstract finished art pieces. Instructor will bring various additional materials for students to try or experiment with incorporation of their finished art pieces. Bring also a sense of adventure to try new things and enjoy creative explorations.

My Painting is an energetic and intense process which results in emotional abstracted work, deeply felt. The impetus is a response to a visual, an emotional or a musical world, or all three. The shapes are bold and simplified, the colours saturated, the brushstrokes energetic.
