McMichael Abstract Acrylic Painting Workshop
Lydia Panart
This in-person two- day workshop will offer artists the opportunity to immerse themselves into the abstract realm. Finding inspiration on the 4 Elements (Earth, Water, Air & Fire), Artist Lydia Panart will guide participants through the painting process – from reflections on the symbolic meaning behind each element, to their visual abstract representation.
Through visual explanations, painting techniques demonstrations, and one-on-one feedback, Lydia will guide the students along the layering process exploring 2 elements of their choice.
This program is suitable for those with some previous painting experience looking to enhance their own artistic voice.
“As an artist, my intention has always been to engage the viewer in a visual dialogue with me, looking for that authentic connection, for a richer experience beyond our individual realities and perceptions.”
The theme of the workshop is the four elements (earth, water, air and fire). You will choose two elements or a combination of two. Inspiration images such as photographs are welcome.
The most important part of the process will be to find symbolic meaning behind the chosen element. We will brainstorm together first, and then I will introduce technique/s to try as part of the painting process.
