New! Meditation on Agnes Martin’s Grid with Anjelika Deogirikar Grossman
Couldn't load pickup availability
Thursday, November 6, 2:00pm - 3:30pm PT
This is an online workshop held via Zoom.
I have always been drawn to visual art that explores the grid. When I lived in the Bay Area, I enjoyed practicing slow looking in SFMOMA’s Agnes Martin room — every time I spent time with Agnes Martin’s work, I noticed something different. More recently I got to visit the Agnes Martin Gallery space at the Harwood Museum in Taos, and I was once again reminded that when I’m feeling stuck, I need to go back to the grid. Inspired by Agnes’ meditative designs, we will create our own geometric patterns, explore watercolor glazing, and practice painting with a flat brush.
Join Zoom 15 minutes early for an informal meet and greet with the instructor and class participants! Class will begin promptly at 5 minutes past the hour, so everyone has plenty of time to create!
SUGGESTED MATERIALS:
- 2-3 of your favorite watercolor paints (one of Anjelika’s favorite is Indigo)
- 3-4 sheets of watercolor paper (cold press preferred) (we will work in multiples to allow time to dry between layers; no particular preferences on size — you can mix and match sizes)
- optional: CfM 1/2" Graph Paper
- 1 piece of scrap paper for swatching
- 1 piece of scrap copy paper for warm-ups and sketching
- 1-2 Brushes (Anjelika’s preference for this practice is flat brushes size 4 or 10)
- Ruler or straight edge
- Pencil
- optional: ink pen
- Water
- Paper towel
ABOUT INSTRUCTOR
Anjelika found her love for CfM back in 2019, when she was on the hunt for the perfect watercolors to match the landscape of Death Valley and the Mojave Desert.

She's currently an artist-in-residence at the Georgetown Lombardi Arts & Humanities Program at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, D.C.
