Feedback and Collaboration

Over the last year some artists have inquired about my “dot art” process. A couple of weeks ago I decided I would have a painting session at the Westwego Art Center and invite my fellow artists to join me while I paint. I brought dowels and cotton for them. This Monday I am trying it again.

In September I have been asked to conduct a “hands-on-workshop” with this technique. This is a way of preparing for the workshop. I want some. Also, I want to see what my fellow artists come up with. Maybe they will find a different method or come up with something interesting.

It is ok to work by alone, but sometimes having a group is beneficial in creating art. Anyway, I’ll see what happens. I’ve begun the final phase of the current batch while I wait for the next batch of canvases to arrive at the art supply stores. I ordered more canvases recently.
