PNW Abstract: a workshop at Northwind Art

In this workshop, you get to soak up the Fort Worden State Park environment, and then turn your observations into abstract art that is wholly your own. With painter Meg Kaczyk as your guide, you’ll expand your artist’s eye by learning different ways of seeing, loosen your grip on realism, and move into an exploration of essence. With an iterative approach you’ll lean into different mediums, including watercolor, graphite, oil pastel and cut paper, to personally express the magic of the Olympic Peninsula landscape. Along the way, creative process insights are shared that can free your hand and strengthen your visual voice. Bring a camera (a cell phone or tablet computer is fine) along with a portable sketchbook and other materials you like; all other course materials and supplies are provided as part of the registration fee.
