Are you an aficionado of abstract art? Me too! I love color and enjoy learning how artists use it to express ideas around the world we live in. I also love black-and-white photography. So ... I created an art workshop where we can enjoy both. 

I am an instructor at VisArts. This non-profit organization in Rockville, MD, brings a wide variety of art classes to the public and am excited to introduce my new class "From Photograph to Modern Art". Join me for an evening of cool art where we will have fun with a variety of art mediums. 

We will start be studying a variety of black-and-white photographs for their composition and the use of lines and shapes to create interest. And, then we will go wild with watercolors! Why go small if you can go big? We will work on a 16" x 20" canvas to mimic the lines and shapes in our favorite photo while exploring ideas behind abstract art.

Here is an example. I snapped a photo of a vase and its shadows on a white table. Look at the complexity of this piece! Much variance in color: we go from lightest of white to the darkest of black. There is texture and there is depth. I transferred the lines seen in my photo onto a large canvas and then let me creativity go free. As a lover of anything pink, I explored different hues in my painting. Et voila: bright pink painting that started as a black-and-white photograph snapped at a museum.
