DAVID WALKER
Intuitive Art-Ink on Paper

5 Day Class (Morning 9 am-12pm)
Tuition: $110
Materials: $10

A single abstract stroke created in an instant of inspired abandonment can have more feeling and depth than a painting taking thousands of strokes with some preconceived idea in mind. But to get to the point of creating that one stroke may take years of practice, preparation and understanding. Basically  the student will work on the process of creating random chaos then seeing into that some order, and delicately persuading that order to come to the foreground without overly disrupting the initially inspired strokes. All manner of alternative approaches to creating free transfer of feelings to paper may be employed as well as detailed reworking techniques. This class will reawaken the individuals unique style and disregard mainstream ideas about the "right way" to start a painting….a great class to broaden the considerations in possibilities of any artistically inclined youth.

David Walker had a thirty year successful career as a figurative sculptor before taking up the challenge to work the flat surface. In his new medium David “feels’ his way into the ink as if it were a sculptural medium. By this process he achieves three-dimensional depth within his visionary and automatic imagery.
