Her work can be found in many private and corporate collections across the country and internationally. Addren is also a member of the Edisto Art Guild.

DAY 1: We will be creating small abstract paintings on Arches oil paper using oil and cold wax medium. You will learn to use various scrapers and mark making tools that are not usually found in traditional oil painting as you create a series of small paintings using a limited palette of colors. The morning will be filled with discussions on abstract art as I introduce you to some of my favorite artists. We will talk about composition and various color palettes. I'll introduce you to the tools and how to use them, and give a short demonstration. Then you will start creating your masterpieces with my help as needed.

DAY 2: We will be creating 3 abstract paintings on 12x12" cradled panels using the processes you learned on day one. There will be a short demonstration in the morning then the rest of the day you will be painting on your own with help from Addren.

You do not have to be an oil painter to enjoy and learn from this workshop. If a non oil painter would like to take the workshop I will provide the oil paint for both days for an additional $25.00. I will need to know this in advance.
