Variable weather patterns in the Colorado Rockies provide the perfect setting to explore surreal atmospheric effects and stark moods. In this studio workshop, we develop a working knowledge of building up color to create various qualities of light, weather and sensation. We also explore diverse symbolic contexts for use in developing individual ideas and a personalized visual vocabulary. ...more

Text & Image
How does text augment a visual narrative? What are the best compositional strategies for your work? Explore the fluid boundaries between visual art and writing - the fusion of text and image - as devices for visual communication. We experiment with the combined power of words alongside or integrated into image, from the meaning of the words themselves to the way they are visually depicted. Using your own writing or found text, make work that incorporates text into visual art through painting, drawing or installation and that moves deeper into the possibilities of your artistic practice. ...more

Into Nature: large watercolors
Nature heightens the senses to shapes, colors and textures and reveals new artistic avenues. The week begins with sketching in watercolor and continues to a large-scale set of watercolors inspired by or translated in the open air. We use watercolor's luminous transparency to construct in layers from light to dark and from broad areas to contrasting finer marks. We encourage a general leap in skill and growth in content as we discuss construing meaning from the landscape. ...more

From 2D to 3D & Back Again
Explore the relationship between drawing and the third dimension. Drawing is treated as a circular path rather than a one-way street leading into the three-dimensional world. We investigate work in sculpture and installation to challenge and reinvigorate their relationships to drawing and vice versa. ...more

Experimental Narrative Painting
This is painting "unhinged" between abstraction and narrative. We create narrative content between different painting modalities, emphasizing palette, chance procedures and notational language. We also cover many issues like intuition, chance/accident, control, reductive and generative modes of abstraction, and appropriating different 2D narrative idioms (comic strips, portraiture, collage and surrealist techniques). ...more

Investigating Portraiture
Explore portraiture in all its guises: portraiture of the past and contemporary portraiture, from Velásquez to Cindy Sherman. As with any genre, portraits reflect their political and social context. They have functioned as talismans of power, wealth and vanity. And they convey intimate personal revelations. Our projects include full-length self-portraits, miniatures and portraits involving costuming/obfuscation of the face. ...more

Brush strokes must have energy and strength combined with "active empty space" to achieve an effective composition. The art of black ink shares the same materials as calligraphy: brush, sumi ink and handmade paper. Experience this unique two-dimensional art as sumi-e art forms expand in the Western world. ...more
