This approach will demonstrate the significance in personalizing one’s materials and methods to best suit and enhance individual aesthetic sensibility. These media elect the heavy weave of the canvas as the dominant but impersonal mark, distilling positive and negative space evenly, and rendering a particulate profile to the image emerging through the landscape of its woven ground. A class introduction will consist of a brief history of the instructor’s experience in what led him to develop this technique, and discussion of artists who have departed from traditional methods. A demonstration of materials and procedure follows this discussion. Students may choose to work from photographic sources or from still life. Please visit montclairartmuseum
