This week’s BobBlast was filmed on location in Montreal, Quebec, Canada!
We were originally scheduled in April 2020 to travel and do this workshop… but, you know what happened to that! So two years later, we made it to the Montreal workshop.
Special thanks to our workshop organizer, Lucie Michel - who assembled a magnificent team who did everything to make this a successful and joyful time for us and 24 painters! Four days of Abstract Acrylic Painting and Collage plus one day of Kate’s Art Marketing made for a jammed-packed week.
Watch the demo to get the overall feeling of this workshop - everyone speaking French (and English) - Bob was speaking his own brand of French, so all was well. Art has no language barrier!
The demo was an abstract figure… the concept was about overall freedom, titled “Catch & Release” about a woman and relationships. Starting with collage elements placed in the golden section composition, I worked paint and collage evenly over the entire surface. The dominant color was yellow.
The Demo Materials:
•Kilimanjaro Watercolor Paper
•Holbein Artist Acrylic Paint
•gel medium
•large brushes
•paper towels
•hand-painted collage papers plus random finds.
Everyone was happy with the results - I even got applause! Merci! The final painting is also included in the video.
