So I filled the first two days with a workshop in abstracts at the Kawartha Artists' Gallery and Studio with Melanie Browne.
Most of the morning was a discussion about what we wanted to learn from the class and about a number of different styles of abstracts.There were a number of different sculptures that had been brought in and it was no surprise that I chose to abstract an Imperial Chinese war horse copied from the T'ang Dynasty.
The first step was to do the sketch of the image I was going to do and then transfer it to a canvas and do a realistic painting with an abstract background.
Unfortunately I had to leave early and was unable to do more than the sketch.
Tomorrow I will draw the five images for a series of the various stages of abstracting the horse.
This original 4-1/4" x 4-1/2” graphite pencil drawing when framed will be available for $40.00.
