Harrison Love, left, and Karen Krogseng, a Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts alumna, discuss the collaborative painting they are creating with three other artists on Saturday at the academy in Old Lyme. The art form was invented in the African country of Tunisia and David Black, an artist and Stonington resident, first witnessed the practice when he traveled there in November 2008. Black is sharing the collaborative painting technique with artists in America. He led Saturday's meeting that included three groups, each with five painters contributing to one piece. According to the rules of the process, one member of the group begins the painting and determines when it is complete. Black will paint in collaboration with six artists from Tunisia at the Art Students League in New York City on Nov. 1 and 16.
