Summer Abstract Intensive with Michael Ottersen (Monday through Friday)

This painting workshop will include multiple ways of utilizing and developing abstract ideas about image making in a weeklong session. Abstraction has a unique way of allowing the artist to use real and imagined forms, colors, surfaces and compositions that access both the subjective and objective sensibilities. Works can be inspired by the essence of a memory or a new image that is nothing more than being completely itself. Absolute freedom and systems that give active support to that freedom. It will be fun, a lot of work, and you might even learn something that you didn’t know you needed to know, if you know what I mean! Dress for mess, bikini’s optional, sensible shoes a must. Surf’s up! Some previous experience with either oil or acrylic suggested.  

Please sign up early; class size is limited to 12 students.
