Painting Workshop with Lynn Golitz: Abstracting Still Life & Naturescapes

Sunday April 27th, 2025, 9AM – 4PM

$160 | non-refundable

Juror for our Boundaries show, Lynn Golitz has agreed to a special workshop about abstraction: Abstracting Still Life and Abstracting Naturescapes. Students will explore composition and techniques for successful outcomes of abstraction.

From her website: Fascination and limitless push/pull is how I would describe my painting process. Blurring lines, asking for sharp edges, building layers, varied brushstrokes, and having a story to tell. Conceptual abstract ideas or moments that I bring to you on canvas.

Using shape, form, line, edge, chroma, and value in order to present my ideas with this question at the forefront: how does this translate with the viewer. Feel it, touch it, smell it, or taste it are some of the biggest compliments that I receive.

Skill level: working knowledge of color theory, forms, and shapes.
