Workshop Description (from the instructor):
Friday 09/20
Rebecca will lead participants through working with different texture mediums but for the sake of time, we'll only be working with the tile adhesive. I'll also explain how to make different shapes and compositions. We'll texture two canvases. One to paint the next day & the other to take home if it's not dry.
Saturday 09/21
We'll begin the painting process. Painting on texture is very different from painting on a blank canvas. I'll show what brushes work the best and how to use them. I'll also show how I apply the layers of color.
About the Instructor
In the heart of West Columbia, South Carolina, resides a contemporary abstract mixed media artist whose work transcends the canvas to connect with something divine. Meet Rebecca Horne, a passionate artist whose creative journey is as captivating as her art itself.
Rebecca's love affair with art began in childhood, nurtured by the inspiring presence of her father, an artist himself. From a young age, she explored various mediums, from the vibrant strokes of oil and watercolors to the intricate details of landscapes, still life, and even pet portraits. However, it was in 2018 that Rebecca stumbled upon abstract mixed media art, a discovery that would ignite her creative fervor like never before.
For Rebecca, art is more than just a hobby or a career—it's a calling, a spiritual experience that she feels compelled to pursue. "I'm compelled to make art. It's something I must do," she shares. "It's a spiritual experience for me. I feel like I'm working to connect to something divine and express the experience on canvas."
Embracing abstract mixed media art has provided Rebecca with the perfect avenue to unleash her creativity fully. She revels in the freedom this style offers, allowing her imagination to roam unrestricted as she experiments with textures, colors, and forms. Each piece is a testament to her boundless curiosity and relentless pursuit of beauty and uniqueness. What sets Rebecca apart is not just her choice of medium but also her distinctive process. She begins by layering texture mediums, sometimes mixing several, and incorporates embellishments while they are still wet. This meticulous approach demands patience and precision, as each layer is carefully crafted to contribute to the overall depth and complexity of the piece. The process can span several weeks, a testament to Rebecca's dedication to her craft.
The result of Rebecca's labor is a collection of multidimensional artworks that captivate the imagination and stir the soul. Each piece exudes a graceful elegance, inviting viewers to explore beyond the surface and immerse themselves in the artist's world. Rebecca's artistic vision has not gone unnoticed, earning recognition on international platforms through juried shows, exhibitions, and publications. Her work serves as a testament to the power of art to transcend boundaries and speak to the innermost depths of the human spirit.
As Rebecca Horne continues to push the boundaries of her creativity, her art serves as a reminder of the profound connection between the artist and the divine. Through her work, she invites us to embark on a journey of exploration and self-discovery, where beauty and meaning intertwine in harmonious expression.
