VIRTUAL WORKSHOP
Advanced Studio Critique: A Praxis Engaged
Jan 11 - 29, 2021
Monday, Wednesday & Friday, 9-10:30AM & 1-4PM MST
Concept
Open your studio practice to new possibilities in this online intensive workshop designed for experienced artists working in any media. Students work on their own self-directed prompts and projects amidst one-on-one and group discussions and critiques structured by the instructor, highlighting color and materials choices, the treatment of surface and other elements of making work that affect content. Demonstrations, prompts and conversations take place in class to foster discourse and strengthen praxes. Students will present a digital portfolio of their work as a stepping-stone to opening up a dialog about the form and content within their work.
This three-week virtual class meets via Zoom Video Conferencing software (download free from Zoom.com). An Anderson Ranch staff member co-teaches the class and coordinates the online platform. Further details will be emailed to registrants.
Media
Students should use all materials necessary to make their work as well as prepare a digital portfolio of recent work (20 images max).

The Figure in Oil Paint
Julie Burleigh
Tuition $1,225
Code D0101-24
In this workshop, students engage in one of the most interesting and challenging pursuits in representational painting: working with the figure. From color mixing exercises to studies of proportion and composition, students learn to represent the figure quickly and convincingly with oil paint. Further emphasis on paint handling and brushwork helps students to become adept at basic oil painting techniques. In addition to painting from a model, students are guided to create engaging and expressive self-portraits. Even with no past experience, students come away from this workshop with a heightened understanding and skill of this popular but often challenging genre.

Painting as Metamorphosis: Observe, Examine, Create
Jody Guralnick
Tuition $1,225
Code D0102-24
This class immerses participants in the wild world around us to inspire the process of oil painting. Students examine nature firsthand, using magnifying loupes to inspect their subjects, contemplating life, growth, decay, and regeneration. Using nature as source material, participants read, discuss, observe, and embark on a painting journey. The emphasis of this workshop is to think about painting as a process and movement rather than a 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. They learn to develop form, mix color, and consider composition, all inspired by what we see around us.

Abstraction in Acrylic
Robert Hill
Tuition $1,225
Code D0103-24
Make your imagery pop in this dynamic painting workshop open to all skill levels. Students are challenged to dive into acrylic on panel while embarking on an abstract approach to image making. Participants explore color theory, patterning methods, and how to use masking tape to create clean, sharp lines and angles. We investigate abstraction and find personal ways to create shape, consider composition and develop a sense of space. Emphasis is placed on hard/soft edge painting techniques and layering processes. Students are encouraged to let their creativity flow, while expanding their artistic techniques in this versatile and accessible painting medium.
