SUMMARY:Register for the 1st NWS Abstract and Experimental Watercolor Show
DESCRIPTION:Abstract art uses the same basic tools as traditional art – shape\, color\, and value to paint a composition which is not strictly representational or realistic. The departure from accurate representation can be partial or complete. Artwork which takes liberties by altering color or shape in conspicuous ways can be said to be partially abstract or an abstraction. Total abstraction bears no trace of the recognizable. The artist’s imagination plays a bigger role in these non-representational paintings. Abstract art can be interpreted by different viewers in different ways and thus involves the viewer more directly as a participant. \nDeadline: May 1st\, 2021\nArtists will be notified by May 15\, 2021 There will be an online reception via Zoom in June \nJudge: James Varnum https://www.jcvarnumart.com  James C Varnum\, exhibitions chair of the Newton Art Association\, is an experimental painter working in watercolor\, alcohol inks\, and liquid graphite.
