1. Gesture to Abstraction: From Movement to Meaning
Saturday, February 7 · 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM
2-Hour Workshop · Working on Paper
Gesture is the heartbeat of abstraction. In this workshop, we explore how movement, rhythm, and instinct form the foundation of expressive painting. Using still life, simple drawing prompts, and reference images, we begin with energetic sketches and build toward a more developed mixed-media work.
You’ll explore:
• Gesture drawing techniques
• Translating movement into abstraction
• Layering with pencil, pastel, paint, and washes
Perfect for: loosening up, trusting intuition, and creating from the body rather than the mind.
