Observe, Simplify, Abstract: From Perceiving Nature to Creating One’s Own Image
Observe, Simplify, Abstract: From Perceiving Nature to Creating One’s Own Image
Nature offers countless shapes, colors, and structures. But how does this give rise to a picture? Drawing on the works of Hedwig Holtz-Sommer and their own on-site observations, participants experiment with artistic approaches to reduction and condensation.
Drawing and painting studies invite participants to highlight the essential, simplify forms, and develop their own visual solutions. The landscape serves as a starting point for a personal artistic exploration of the tension between representational art and free expression.
Please bring: colored pencils for sketching, tempera, gouache, or watercolor paints, and brushes. A basic supply of materials (colored pencils, graphite pencils, gouache paints, brushes, jars, and thick paper) will also be provided.
