Based in Aberdeen\, NC\, Jodi works from her home studio and travels extensively to lead workshops and retreats around the world\, inspiring students to embrace creativity and explore the possibilities of abstract art. \n\n\n\nNecessary Supplies to Bring: \n\n\n\nBrushes: \n\n\n\n\nAssorted brushes in different sizes. Include both flat and round brushes and at least one 2-4 inch flat brush for larger surfaces.\n\n\n\nSome fun optional Mark Making supplies are: Neo Color II Crayons\, Stabilo Woodies\, Graphite\, China Marker are all great to have on hand.\n\n\n\nOther Markmaking tools: Jodi suggests these fine line applicators that can be filled with fluid acrylic paint (thinned with a little Golden High Flow Medium) in the color of your choice.\n\n\n\nCatalyst Wedge\, Jodi recommends the #6.\n\n\n\n\nPaint: \n\n\n\n\nAssorted acrylic paint. Jodi suggests Golden Fluid paint along with some soft body paint such as Liquitex or Nova. (Nova has good prices and fun bundles)  Please do not bring heavy body paint as your main paint to use.\n\n\n\nTo start with a ‘neutral base’ on your palette\, Jodi recommends the following’: Titanium White\, Titan Buff\, Carbon Black\, Van Dyke Brown or Raw Umber\, Azo Gold\, and Payne’s Gray.\n\n\n\nFeel free to bring your favorite colors. Others you may find useful are: Hansa Yellow\, Cadmium Yellow\, Napthol Red\, Pyrole Red\, Ultramarine Blue\, Prussian Blue\, Quinicridone Magenta\, Turquoise\, and Yellow Iron Oxide (or Indian Yellow Hue).\n\n\n\n\nMediums: \n\n\n\n\nSmall bottles of Glazing Medium (Satin) and Matte medium (fluid\, not gel).\n\n\n\n\nSurfaces: \n\n\n\n\n4-6 12″x12″ wood panels for your main project (canvas or wood panel) Amazon has a great bundle with light weight wood panels you can find HERE.\n\n\n\nOptional: A couple of smaller canvases to paint additional projects.\n\n\n\nPlease pre-gesso your surfaces to save time in class. Jodi suggests using a grey gesso (adding a little black paint to white gesso)\, and will have gesso available if you are unable to pre-gesso your surfaces.\n\n\n\n\nPalette: \n\n\n\n\nA Covered Palette is Preferred along with palette paper or freezer paper to mix your paints.   A Sta-Wet Palette is what Jodi uses.\n\n\n\n\nJournal and Preparation: \n\n\n\n\nAn art journal if you’d like to practice ideas or use to create backgrounds with excess paint. A small notebook for note taking and idea generating.\n\n\n\n It is really helpful to research abstract paintings via Pinterest or perhaps a book and save to an inspiration board (electronic—Canva or Pinterest). Think about what it is that draws you into the type of work that you’ve saved. Is it the colors\, feeling it evokes\, or marks that are made? What inspires you the most in your own work? What inspires you in the world around you? We will be exploring a variety of inspiration to formulate our own work.\n\n\n\n\nClass Schedule: \n\n\n\nSaturday\, March 20th 9:00 to 4:00 \n\n\n\nSunday\, March 21st 9:00-4:00 \n\n\n\nLunch Break is from 12:00-1:00. \n\n\n\n\nFiltered water\, coffee\, tea\, and sweet and savory snacks are provided.
