Do you love color? Is the common thread in all your work an expression of color? Spend a day exploring paintings about color! Mark Rothko, probably the best-known “color field” painter, did just that. His work, with its layers of rich color subtly selected and placed, created a sense of depth and space and dynamic tension. In this one-day acrylic workshop, we will briefly explore color contrasts and create three to five different color stories. Through lecture, demonstration, and critique, the instructor will equip you with the information needed to sow and grow your own color field paintings, producing a crop of three finished pieces. For a list of suggested supplies, please visit montclairartmuseum.org.
