Abstract Painting with Collage, Gesso, and Acrylics Dive into expressive painting through playful gestures, layered collage, gesso, and fluid acrylic pigments with renowned local artist and current President of the New Jersey Watercolor Society Ann Smiga Greene. She is a signature member of several prestigious art societies, including the American Watercolor Society and the International Society of Experimental Artists, and her work has been showcased in fine art exhibitions and earned awards in both national and international competitions. In this workshop, you’ll explore loose, spontaneous mark-making using markers and pencils. Collage elements will be added to build shapes, contrast, and texture. Gesso and fluid acrylics are added to create areas of negative space—highlighting the dynamic relationship between shape, value, and key design principles. The emphasis is on personal expression, while also learning about collage, water media tools and techniques. Paint what you feel—layer by layer. Open to artists of all levels, this workshop invites creative exploration without predetermined outcomes, planning, or drawing. Whether your work tends toward abstraction or representation, Ann will support you in developing your unique artistic voice. Bold strokes, dynamic compositions, and an openness to the unexpected are at the heart of this experience—allowing your art to evolve naturally and authentically. Materials will be provided. However, students are welcome to bring collage papers of their choice if desired. Please register in advance to guarantee your spot! Saturday, September 13 |
