Weaving with Paint: Calm from Chaos with a Friendly Lion

Exploring themes of wildness and domesticity, artist Val Nelson will interweave colourful, bold brushstrokes with embodied gestural mark-making in acrylic paint on canvas.

She will show how seemingly abstract forms can be coaxed into visual unity, while celebrating differences of colour nuance, light and dark pattern, and edge-quality.

Val loves sharing with others how making art can be exciting, fun, and even healing.This fascinating painting demo will be inspirational for art-lovers, artists, and people who may be new to looking at art, and are curious about how paintings are made. Val is delighted to be available afterward for questions.
