Phyllis Vandehaar led a fun and engaging workshop where the participants were asked to stretch their imagination, combining different art materials.
Phyllis provided the participants with three different color papers with spider-like webbing sprayed on them. The first exercise was watercolor on white paper to create a non-objective design. The second was a gray paper used to create a theme in pastels. The third, a black piece of paper was used to create a realistic or abstract theme using torn paper. Throughout the workshop Phyllis used demonstrations and her own artwork to explain the how and why of using certain techniques. In addition, Phyllis provided encouragement and suggestions to the participants on how they could improve the artwork. This was an educational workshop with lots of new and interesting techniques. - Submitted by Frank Weaver |
