Abstract Photography

Abstract Photography

Saturday 07 June
S Grant Ave. - 10am - 2 Hours
Columbus Photography Group
David Monseur
Abstract photography involves capturing a subject in a way that renders it either partially or completely unrecognizable, emphasizing instead on the interplay of shapes, colors, and form.

In this workshop, we will explore the art of creating striking and thought-provoking images through the use of abstraction.

Our experienced instructor will guide you through the process of understanding and applying the principles of abstract photography, including composition, color, and texture. We will cover topics such as finding inspiration in everyday objects, experimenting with different angles and perspectives.

Street Photography

Street Photography

Saturday 09 August
S Grant Ave. - 10am - 2 Hours
Columbus Photography Group
David Monseur
People, cafes, vendors, street merchants, buskers, historic buildings, art installations and much more. The power of observation underpins the art of great street photography. Learning to "see" interesting detail is a practised skill and we introduce you to easy methods that will open your photographer's eye and expose you to a world that is alive with detail. The most rewarding part of the class is learning how to approach interesting people and have them willingly pose for you.

We will also go over settings, focusing techniques and lens choices common to street photography to help us capture those random chance encounters.

Title or Location: Hedgehog and Tap Dancer on Vaudeville Stage
Here is the second of two new commissions. Again, my direction was only that it must have a hedgehog. I wanted the two paintings to have a common theme, so I placed a dark-haired little girl on stage performing with her tapdancing hedgehog assistant. I translated what I wanted into words, selected a portrait orientation, selected the aspect ratio and fed that information into the Playground image-to-text app. I made a pencil outline of the major features of the generated image. Then I sc

Title or Location: City Night Abstract Scene 2
Last month I painted my first 16 x 20 inches watercolor abstract. Now I have painted what I hope is a complimentary artwork. Same size and same theme.I generated a ?reference? image, transferred it to watercolor paper using graphite pencil, and then painted it. Both were prepared on cold pressed Arches paper using Grumbacher Academy paints. They are now displayed in my art room above my computer.I hope you like it!

Title or Location: Derek & Hayley Hough
Painted in soft pastel from a screenshot off of YouTube , this moment that was captured was the return of Hayley Hough to Dancing with the Stars after a life saving surgery just a year earlier. Hayley had a blood vessel burst in her brain and doctors were forced to perform a life saving surgery removing 40 of her skull to relive pressure. The painting was given to Derek during his ?Dance for the Holidays? tour which stopped at Mershon Auditorium on the campus of Ohio State. For me personall

Title or Location: Mandala art for mindfulness
I started learning about Dot Mandala Art at the end of last year, and the more I created, the more I became addicted to it. Creating this art has been incredibly therapeutic for my mind. I began with small pieces, and this particular artwork is the largest piece I've made so far( 45cm)It took me about 12 hours to complete.

Title or Location: Serene
Hello, My name is Sandra Sanchez. The background on this particular art piece is quite interesting . I had just gotten a new sketch pad, and I wanted the first page to eye opening. I wanted a piece from the heart, something my audience would feel. I wanted this pic to be something I would feel every time I felt like giving up . I lost my older, and only brother to cancer. Shortly after , I lost my Grandmother who raised me suddenly. Each day is a struggle without my brother, and my Nana . I love

Title or Location: Mountain Top Splendor
Years ago, while hiking in the Sierra, I came across an old abandoned church - literally in the middle of nowhere. It seemed odd, out of place. I even knocked on it to make sure I wasn't imagining it. Ever since I've had a fascination for old abandoned places and the stories they could tell. As I work on a painting like this one, Mountain Top Splendor, I usually can't help developing a story about it. The home was once occupied by a veteran of the great war, who sough peace and serenity with his
