Upcoming Workshops and Demos
Uma Kelkar, Speaking your Painting
"Live" online Demo Sunday December 13 at 1:30 pm.
Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87994017347?pwd=eHNUR0dsM2cxT0FYSzErRkV2WHl5dz09
Uma will demonstrate a scene similar to the one shown here. She paints in the wet-in-wet style. Her words will welcome people of all levels. She will focus on painting and "speaking her painting" the way she thinks about her painting - so it will be a live commentary from her brain. What will be missing is the technical how-to lingo because the intent of the demonstration is to show that the technical skills only help to promote the storyline that is in the artist's mind and you will get to glimpse hers. She was a beginner once (and still is often) and believes that technical chops only evolve to fortify the story one has to tell through one's painting.
