The Process Project: Explorations in Abstraction
Join artist Valerie Allen for two days of using the power of process to create works of abstract art in acrylics. As a Certified Working Artist for Golden Paints, Val will bring an array of acrylic products including colors, gels, pastes, and mediums. This is a great way to become familiar with the versatility of acrylic products before you purchase.

Val will motivate you with discussions on developing your visual language through intuitive mark-making, telling your authentic story with abstract painting, and cultivating a spirit of adventure with each painting. Three projects will be completed during the workshop simultaneously within an agenda planned to allow for drying time for the thicker applications of gels and pastes. The timeline is fast-moving with time for question and answer sessions each day. An easy to find supply list will be provided upon registration. Acrylic gels and pastes will be provided. Each student will receive a sample bag of Golden products at the end of the workshop to take home and experiment with further.

Workshop dates are Saturday and Sunday from 10 am – 4 pm. There will be a one-hour lunch at 12:30 pm each day. Please bring a packed lunch or visit one of the nearby eateries in Royal Oak.
