Back by popular demand, a two day workshop with artist and teacher Alison Watt. "Every painting is an abstract painting, in that once you transform something three dimensional into two dimensions it is an abstraction of reality...the skills of abstract painting can enrich the painter working in any genre," according to Alison.

Become comfortable with the non-objective process; working with acrylic paints and archival markers on paper and mounting on wooden cradles, learn ways of beginning the abstract painting, including introducing random elements through free line drawing and creation of rich underpaintings. Impose form on these under paintings by painting out and additonal mark-marking, elevating the painting from being a simply decorative surface to a strong composition.
