Diebenkorn Inspired Collage Landscapes with Erin McCluskey Wheeler
Couldn't load pickup availability
SATURDAY, JANUARY 31, 2:00 - 4:00pm PT
This is an in-person workshop at CfM Art Room:
4035 Judah St, San Francisco, next door to our shop!
Richard Diebenkorn (1922-1993) was born in San Francisco and his art practice was forever inspired by San Francisco’s unique geography and colors. He’s known for his flattened and stacked color landscapes and cityscapes. Diebenkorn worked out a lot of his ideas for paintings through collage. Using his paintings and collages as inspiration, we’ll make our own abstracted landscape collages. We’ll cut and curate our colors from a range of collage materials and think about color order and composition in our collages.
