Collaborative Painting Workshop w/ HELEN COHEN and DIANE GOLDSTEIN (POSTPONED)
April 30, 2023 @ 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm
$100 – $125This Workshop has been POSTPONED until Fall 2023. Date TBD.
Let your free spirit leap out and play!
$125 or $100 for OHCA Members
Each participant must have a partner for this workshop. Each person registers separately. Max 10 people.
First of all, abstract collaborative painting is really fun! Participants will be trying something different such as: letting go of outcome and working on large canvas/paper spontaneously with a partner of your choice. Let your free spirit leap out and play!
Collaboration can bring a new and powerful experience to your art process: unexpected things emerge through an exchange of ideas and listening/responding to the painting together with your partner. It will require mutual respect, mutual effort and letting go of ego.
Participants will need to have a prearranged partner to register for the workshop, but register separately.
There will be demonstrations and tips for getting loose and working together through out the process.
During the last hour of the workshop, participants will have time to share their process and their paintings with the group.
Suggested Supplies to bring:
Mixed Media: water soluble paint, markers, crayons, graphite, collage and whatever materials you and your partner want to incorporate. (No oil) Bring a variety of brushes or other instruments for making marks. Bring palette paper or paper plates, water containers and acrylic or water color paint. You may want to use a variety of brush sizes to work spontaneously. Water soluble house paint can be fun.
Please bring one or two large canvases or paper: we suggest a minimum 48 x 48, but encourage 48 x 60 so there will be ample room to work with your partner simultaneously. Or if you wish, O’Hanlon has large rolled paper that you can use. Depending on the timing, you may want to make more than one large piece.
