IMPROVISATION INTO ABSTRACTION

WITH DAVID HORNUNG

June 12-16, 2025

Five days

Thursday - Monday

10 a.m. - 4 p.m.


IN PERSON AT BLACK POND. In this relaxed and supportive five-day workshop, we make small scale acrylic paintings that explore an improvisational approach to abstraction. The emphasis is on experimentation and workflow with special focus on the interplay between intention and chance in the creative process. We use various tools and both additive and subtractive processes to generate surprising visual events that can be developed into compelling abstract compositions. Studio work is complemented by slide shows and discussions that examine both historical and contemporary abstract painting. Painters at all levels of experience are welcome to participate. Workshop fee include lunches and some provided supplies. Please bring the other supplies on the materials list below.
