Observe nature with fresh eyes, letting time slow to examine the wild world closely. Participants investigate nature firsthand, using magnifying loupes to inspect subjects, contemplating life, growth, decay, and regeneration, and — using the natural world as source material, we read, discuss, observe, and embark on a painting journey. The emphasis of this workshop is to think about painting as process and movement rather than fixed form, depicting nature with paint without needing to reproduce observations in a literal way. Melding abstraction and representation, students discover and produce depth, allowing an image to float to the surface. We learn to develop form, mix color, and consider composition, all inspired by what we see around us.
