Sibony Studio Takeover with Kim Goldberg
Free Flow/Improvisation Art Workshops
Wet on Wet—Ink & Watercolor Workshops
Participants of this workshop will discover the dynamics of painting with water using a wet-on-wet technique. They will practice the process of improvisation—the act of painting with water forces us to loosen up—to free ourselves, clear our minds and build a picture as we work. We will talk about action and reaction, spontaneity, improvisation, capturing time and alchemy. The intention of this workshop is to help us to decompress, relax and enjoy the state of abstraction—opening ourselves to ‘not knowing’ while creating a physical and innate connection with the materials, embracing a state of play and release to make dynamic compositions that are not pre-planned. I encourage the pure enjoyment of experimentation, spontaneity, and the development of rich effects that the combination of water, inks and watercolor are known for.
Workshop sessions run 2.5 hours
Open to all skill levels, 13 years of age or older
If time permits - participants will be invited to share about their creations
Artworks will need to dry overnight, please provide an appropriate space for drying
These workshops are actions towards improved health and well-being. Art is a powerful and effective tool to enable a sense of release and recovery from stress and trauma. I focus on meaningful and empathic interactions to reduce tension. Through these workshops we will create space to clear our minds while we reduce isolation and encourage the joy of creating. Our goal is to exercise our innate creativity and build confidence in our own personal expressions.
Materials we will use: Recycled specialty paper, India ink, watercolors, sumi ink brushes in multiple sizes, ink droppers, small ink palette trays and water
