The Art of Negative Space

of all types

Discover a new way of seeing and creating by focusing on the shapes around your subject rather than on the object itself. In this playful and experimental workshop, we will explore the concept of negative space to create expressive compositions inspired by the world around us. Whether working with plants, interior spaces, still-life compositions, or everyday objects, we will learn how shifting our attention to the spaces between and around shapes can simplify complex subjects and reveal unexpected forms and rhythms. This workshop encourages curiosity, observation, and experimentation and is suitable for both complete beginners and more experienced artists eager to break free and see familiar subjects from a new perspective. Different materials and approaches can be explored throughout the session. During this workshop, you will: - Learn how negative space can enhance observation and visual awareness. - Explore expressive and experimental approaches to composition. - Discover how shapes and spaces interact to create interesting images. - Work from subjects found in our environment, from natural forms and still-life compositions to interior spaces and everyday objects. - Receive individual guidance throughout the session.
