a. WS27 - Experimentation is Crucial
One-Day Workshop | Registration opens 1/19/2026 12:00 PM EST
Desmond will explore experimentation in the process of painting. You will step out of your comfort zone and pursue alternative ideas, methods, and techniques, including choosing more unique colors based solely on values. An essential element of painting is personal artistic growth and experimentation is crucial. You will explore expressionism and abstract art and how to incorporate elements of both in representational pastels.
NOTE FOR ALL IAPS WORKSHOPS: You must bring your own portable easel, and a board to support your paper. The room will be set with chairs which can be moved around to suit your preference. You can stand at an easel and use the table for your supplies, or you can bring a table easel and sit to work. Rubbing Alcohol will be provided for the students' use.
IMPORTANT: Please bring a plastic or cloth sheet to place under your easel, or table, to protect the hotel's carpet.
