Layered Marks
Explore painting through a process of layering, gesture, and discovery. You will begin with intuitive mark-making, using your body to generate energy and movement on the surface. From these spontaneous gestures you will see how composition can emerge naturally.
Using stamps and geli prints, you will explore the role of pattern in creating rhythm and variety. You will practice editing – blocking out what doesn’t serve the whole painting, allowing clarity and intention to shine through.
Working in layers with a limited and balanced palette, you will discover how to build unity while creating dynamic contrast. The focus will be on cultivating your own visual language and learning how to trust your marks as they guide you toward strong, expressive compositions.
