Visiting Artist Ken Kewley: 1 Day Workshop

Observing Abstraction/Constructing Subject – From the Literal to the Poetic

Push the boundaries of representation and abstraction in your artwork with painter Ken Kewley. Use basic materials such as ballpoint pen and acrylic paint to draw, paint, collage, sculpt and print a series of evolving imagery. Rather than always working from a blank page, use collage to rework directly on prints of previous designs. Learn to see the colors and forms applied to the paper as real things that can be adjusted, just as one adjusts objects in a still life. Move away from copying and rendering toward a more exciting and ultimately more real picture of what you find beautiful in the world.
