Black, white and in-between with Nancy MacCarthy

May 29-June 1, 2025

Thursday-Sunday

10 a.m. – 4 p.m. eastern time

IN PERSON AT BLACK POND

The striking contrasts of black and white, and the subtle differences between grays, will fuel our images. First, using brushes with black ink on white paper, we will build compositions from shapes of black and white, with still life and the landscape as our sources. We will move into ink washes, then switch to white on black, and each day delve into more exercises using pens, cut paper, collage, and block prints. Our aim is to generate a volume of drawings, from both observation and abstraction, which expand our visual vocabulary, sensitivity to value and shape, as well as compositional skills. We will view image presentations, and discuss work. Image presentations and discussions will deepen our work. Price includes lunches.
