Paint It Black: on overcoming perfection in art with Nik Black
Now in its fourth year, Nik Black will be hosting this online only event. Open to any artist who wishes to overcome the burden of perfection and make some really unusual work, in a safe and supportive environment.
It begins with a live opening chat with the artist, a review of the materials that could be used, and a first few marks. Nik will answer your questions and offer some tips on how to navigate the rush of art making/destruction.
The only supplies needed are ones you already have, and a tool of obliteration. Nik uses black paint and after 14 days of creating goes live to destroy everything. (These papers are then utilized in other projects, we will talk about this too!)
This process is based on an exercise found in Art and Fear a book by David Bayles. This is suggested reading before or during the event. Please focus on the many pots vs single pot discussion.
Discover how destruction can free you from perfectionism and reignite your passion to play
