Abstract Collage Workshop by Hemalatha on April 14th

About the Artist, Hemalatha (@art_by_hema):

I’m a certified hypnotherapist and a crystal healer with a deep interest in expressive arts. I’ve been trained in traditional drawing and painting techniques but I found my truest voice in creating ‘Abstract Landscapes’. I draw inspiration from natural scenes of deep forests, flower beds, ocean fronts and sunset skies. I primarily use acrylic paints infused with mixed media elements with a lot of fun mark making. I trek and hike in exploration of these. My art is process driven with a lot of body movement and liberation. It is about getting in touch with an inner sensation and using mediums to portray what you feel rather than see and hence evoke a feeling in the viewer.

Basic materials required:

Paper: 6 sheets of A5 sized water colour paper or any other stiff papers with heavy body.
Vintage books: Old thrift shop books
Colours: Acrylic colours + white and black
Glue for collage
Palette, water container, paper towel/cleaning cloth, scissors,
Mark making tools: crayons, soft pastels, oil pastels, charcoal, pencil, posca pens.

Takeaways:

We will learn to create beautiful pieces of collage with minimal materials. Using a limited scheme will actually allow us to explore our creativity and come with interesting options.
Collage is a very meditative process which allows theme-based series creation with a personal touch and being surprised with how numerous pieces unite to create an end product that is vintage and earthy. This is a collage practice based in minimalist lifestyle and working with whatever materials one may have at hand.
These are mini abstract pieces that will introduce us to the world of abstract art, nudging us to let go of judgement and trusting the inner voice.
We will learn innovative use of mark making, pattern making and colour mixing.
Not to mention, working with limited palette us learn about colour schemes in a much more experimental matter compared with the conventional colour wheel.

The workshop will be hosted via Zoom. We will send you a unique Zoom link a day before the workshop for you to join.
