Description
Positive Creations Workshop
Enjoy two ways to study
3 Day Workshop - $335 (meals included, separate cost for accommodations)
1 Day Visionary Graffiti Workshop $85 (lunch and dinner included)
Focusing mainly on painting, we will use a skateboard as a canvas (an old used one to recycle), but he will go over way more than just skate art 'n graphics.
The workshop starts with a slideshow presentation of the short yet interesting history of skateboard art, to get you all stoked 'n inspired. He will then explain his personal process of painting. His own art career started by recycling the old broken skate decks he was done riding and giving them new long-lasting life as wooden artworks.
Students are encouraged to bring an old skateboard, or if you prefer any other found object is cool too. Skateboards will be provided if you can’t find one to bring.
Go step by step through the process of sketching the ideas, priming, drawing on the board, achieving quality graphic line work, painting, layering effects, color theory, polishing and varnishing.
Ideally we all end up with masterpieces at the end of the sessions, but either way you will learn much about how it’s done and have a blast jamming with crazy Chris!
Other than sharing his inspirations and knowledge of technique, and guiding you through the skate painting jam, Chris will do 2 more slide show speeches, to teach you how to succeed at the artistic lifestyle and also how to make a solid career out of your art
If art is more than a hobby for you, and you’d actually like to live off your passions, these presentations have all of Chris’ knowledge and secrets he’s accumulated over his 13-year career
What Students need to bring is:
Sketch Book. A canvas: preferably, an old skateboard (Can be found at skateshops) or found object. For drawing: pencils, erasers, sharpeners and sharpies. For painting: acrylic paints (or the paints they prefer), brushes, and palette. Chris also recommends tracing paper, "puff paint" squeeze bottles
