MIXED MEDIA WORKSHOP

Exploring and Expanding the Creative Self
Art in the Hamptons with Joan Klutch AWS.

With an emphasis on exploration in materials and techniques, you will find freedom to express your true self within your paintings during this hands-on, guided workshop.

With a strong belief in content, composition, and craftsmanship, Joan Klutch has spent a lifetime immersing herself in her exploration of art. Klutch's love of flowers and landscape was brought forward in her earlier work with an integration of organic and geometric forms. Her ability to create with watercolor has been a driving force with the achievement of signature membership in the American Watercolor Society since 1985. In recent years her focus has shifted toward abstraction, with an emphasis on experimental practices using calligraphic line and mark making. Joan is a true believer of continual exploration with a variety of materials, surfaces, and techniques, as you will see throughout her workshop. She embraces the spontaneous flow of pigments and use of various materials to create effects allowing for a sense of play. Joan's work shows a careful balance between restlessness and poetic movement. She pulls her inspiration from the natural beauty of her surroundings, as well as many artists of the past, such as Turner and O’Keeffe for their vibrant use of color, as well as Motherwell for his expressive action and Diebenkorn's geometry.

Throughout her workshop you will be encouraged to explore your creative self using the principles and elements of design. You will explore materials, which include, but are not limited to: watermedia, drawing tools, collage, layering colors, building textures, etc. Bring your favorite colors, materials, and an open mind. Enjoy small group camaraderie and individual critique. All levels welcome.
