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.

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: Magical Boy on Rabbit
Hi. Here is a new watercolor painting. I saw a painting of a little fairy boy riding on a rabbit. I recalled I had digitally painted one like that 5 years ago for a nephew. I pulled it out of storage and redid it. The original was set in the winter, and I wanted to switch it around to the spring. I used ChatGPT to transform it and simultaneously generate a ?reference? image. I transferred this image to watercolor paper and then painted it. It is 8 x 10 inches in size and prepared on Arches

Title or Location: Worlds in Transition ? Scene 1
I began a new set of abstracts this month. Normally I use the Playground AI software to create a reference image from some idea for a painting. This time I started with an abstract painting I had made from a photo I took a few years ago. I liked it but was curious what AI would do to it. So, I fed a pic of my abstract to the Design photo-to-image software, and it generated a new image. Similar, but also very different from my original. I used the output as my reference image. I transferr

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
