Minimalism & Texture Workshop with Mike Lafata

Learn to simplify your art in a sophisticated and minimalistic style using organic textures and the magic of "intentional constraint."

In this workshop, you will learn how to:

• simplify your composition
• make good use of your negative space
• work with dramatic shapes
• add texture while keeping things simple
• work with a limited palette of color

Students will walk away with a few 8x8 paintings with lots of texture and visual interest, as well as a new understanding of what makes up the Minimalism art style.
