Experimental Techniques in Acrylic Demonstration

On June 24th I demonstrated experimental techniques using acrylic paints at a West Bank Art Guild meeting. I filled the room with some large works that I painted between 1985 and 1988 as well as a couple from 1993. Before demonstrating, I passed around some of how-to books for my fellow artists to browse. Then came the messy part. I dripped and imprinted a variety of methods jumping from canvas to canvas. Several of the artists present expressed interest in a future workshop.

Dot Art Workshop Second Round

Since Tropical Storm Humberto scared off some of the artist participants in September, I was asked to present a second workshop for the ARTinA November meeting. Here are my students working on hard on their dot artwork. I have more photos on my blog dot art. Also, I have photos of the artists with the pieces they created during the workshop.

Dot Art Hands On Workshop

This past Thursday I conducted a “hands on” workshop with my fellow artists of ARTinA (Art in Algiers). First I discussed the artists that influenced my dot art and then showed some examples of my completed works. Next I demonstrated how to use wood dowels with cotton to paint different patterns. After that, all of us painted on small canvases that were provided for the workshop. For more information see my blog dot art.
