Splotch Monster workshop at Faith Chapel Gathering Place, 10/15/2023
Yesterday afternoon, I had a delightful time teaching a Splotch Monster-making workshop to a dozen wonderful participants of all ages at the Faith Chapel Gathering Place in Lucketts, Virginia. First we worked on creating paint splotches, and letting them sit out to dry for a while, followed by some observational sketching from realistic animal figurines. Afterwards, we did a mystery splotch postcard challenge, where participants collaborated with me by getting a randomly selected postcard with a paint splotch. The paint splotches had to be turned into Splotch Monsters, which were then written about on the other side of the paper, in postcard format. If they had some time, folks could also work on their dried paint splotches. This very historic church building was such a beautiful and ideal place to hold an art workshop, and I’m so grateful to @lagoarthurstudio for inviting me to give it a try. It went so well, I’m looking forward to coming back again to do another art workshop there soon! #faithchapelgatheringplace #luckettsva #splotchmonsters #splotchmonsterisland #splotchmonsterart #splotchmonster #artworkshop #creativity #drawingfromobservation #imagination #watercolor #drawing #artteacher #artistoninstagram #artistsoninstagram #dmvartist #loudounart #loudouncountyartist
