Collage Open Studio provides an opportunity for those artists who wish to expand their knowledge of collage without the setting of a formal workshop. This course is ideal for individuals who already possess an established art practice and want to create in a natural, relaxed environment. Participants will enjoy all of the amenities afforded to instructed workshops. Some materials will be provided by Ursula. The largely unstructured nature of this session provides time at River Rock Studio for sharing materials and practical applications, as well as new ideas and good fun.

From Brian:
"Five hard days of painting will probably appeal to artists
who are currently working at that level [intermediate/advanced]
or artists who are looking for the experience of intense painting.
I will demonstrate on the Monday and Tuesday of the week, focusing
on deconstruction vs reconstruction, and how the Design Elements
and Principles apply to this line of thinking.
The remainder of my week will be spent with one on one discussion
of options and daily group critiques. I will be encouraging
artists towards the contemporary view of painting, with special
attention given to paint surface and integrity."

This workshop focuses on textures, composition and the layering process. Participants will experiment with creating 3D textural effects and enhancing their artwork with a wide range of techniques. Demonstrations will be geared towards presenting possibilities. After the demonstrations, participants are encouraged to bring their own personal style to the process and share in finding new ways to stretch the limits of the materials in an experimental art environment.

This workshop is designed to give each participant the opportunity to pursue artistic goals within the format of the mixed media process. Within an encouraging environment each student will work on or develop their particular areas of interest while exploring different techniques through short activities. Many forms of media will be considered with emphasis on how, within a particular work, each "co-exists" to strengthen an overall image. I will give daily demonstrations and during the week will work one on one to help each student realize their goals for the workshop. We will draw upon the intense power of the land to reinforce many of the weekly activities. Please come ready to dig deep and share the many ideas of other participants.

This three-day workshop is designed to help artists gain new insights into their creativity through the exploration of collage. A variety of techniques will be introduced and their implementation stressed so that participants leave with a working knowledge of the methods used in this workshop. Additional techniques such as colouring your own paper, creating special effects with tissue paper and collaging on canvas will be introduced in Level II. River Rock Studio is well suited for this type of workshop and will supply some of the new materials needed in order to make participation easier. Come prepared for three days of learning, sharing and enjoying.
