Just a little note:

Many of the classes I personally offer are meant to provide a progression in inter-related book arts opportunities. It is not necessary to take them in any specific order, but understand many are complimentary in nature. Likewise, a good foundational class in tools and working methods will be to your advantage for intermediate or advanced work. By taking a decorative paper workshop, you may utilize your work in a book structure as text pages, end sheets or as a cover. Similarily, by taking papermaking you may use the results in a book or as a substrate for a print, drawing, painting, or with letterpress.   Think of them as part of, or a means to an end, not the end in themselves. (not that many can not stand alone and be appreciated as completed work) It is also for this reason I repeat some foundational workshops more often. Understanding the method to my madness may be helpful when making workshop choices.

Mark-making: Painting the abstract with ink   Jacqueline Sullivan  

Every artist uses marks. The more you paint, the more you will find yourself developing a mark-making style. In this class we will explore and develop personal mark-making styles. These marks will be combined with additional unique ink painting techniques. Mark-making can be loose and gestural, or structured and controlled. Marks can also be splashes and drips. Most artists work with a variety of marks in every painting. 

Think of marks as building blocks, marks can make patterns to build our works and/or act as a focal point to finish the painting. We'll talk about how to form natural looking organic marks as well as how these marks can divide the space and be the backbone of a more legible work. We will start and end our works with organic marks and asemic (abstract) writing.  Appropriate for those with and with out  a calligraphy background. Come prepared to have fun!

Fri/Sat  September 6 & 7  10 - 4:30   $355/$20 materials
