Building a successful career as an artist isn’t a walk in the park and it is so demanding that I’ve sometimes asked myself if it’s worth it. I have definitely struggled, but the one thing I know for certain is that if it isn’t fun and fulfilling, it isn’t worth it.

Objective

The objective of the workshop is to create a fun & collaborative experience of self & skill learning through the process of abstract painting, a practice that can push you to explore new forms of expression.

Program

  • In this 4 day workshop, we will cover the fundamentals of abstract painting through a fun collaborative & interactive program of ways of ‘un-seeing’ & ‘unlearning’.
  • Rashidy’s method of ‘unlearning’ & intuitive-ness of hand-canvas as the abstraction of the mind-body relationship, offers a new interactive & fluid dimension of abstract painting.
  • The program will be focused in a blocks & modules format where participants will work to create a piece to present in critique on the final day.
