Inspired by the landscape and surrounding environment of Monte Castello di Vibio, this painting workshop explores abstraction and color relationships through experimental techniques in watermedia. Exercises and structural prompts for material experimentation will allow for discovery and invention with shape, composition, color palette and mark-making. Working both in the studio and directly in the environment, sketches,color studies and observations will inform the work as participants develop their unique perspective in abstraction. Lectures and weekly field trips to Florence and Orvieto expand on and inspire the content of the workshop.
