(Watercolor, Mixed Media & Acrylic)
Karen Knutson, Instructor
www.karenknutson.com
Location: Pacific Northwest Art School (on Whidbey Island)
15 NW Birch Street
Coupeville WA 98239
Date: July 15-18, 2013 (9am-4pm)
Tuition: $475
Contact: info@pacificnorthwestartschool.org or 1-866-678-3396
Come to beautiful Whidbey Island, Washington for the scenery of your
dreams! Students will learn how to take a traditional subject and
make it abstract or at least, semi-abstract. Think of a still life
for instance. Traditionally, you would have lighting, perfect
placement of objects, etc. We’ll learn several ways to turn that
setting into abstract and think of every subject in terms of simple
shapes, and good design. How fun is that??? We’ll learn how to push
colors to exciting levels, and how to have glowing colors. By the end
of the week, we’ll be working completely abstract, working in the
medium of your choice. This workshop is guaranteed to loosen you up!
