VIRTUAL WORKSHOP
Mixed Media on Paper: drawing, printmaking & collage

Aug 9 - 13, 2021

1PM-4PM MST

Concept

Experiment with works on paper in this virtual, mixed-media workshop open to students of all levels. This course focuses on the development of perspective drawing skills in combination with the use of other media. This workshop introduces students to safe, nontoxic methods in printmaking to combine with drawings that don’t require a press and that can be applied outside of the studio. Unexpected results are encouraged as a means of fostering new ideas. Technical demonstrations and critiques will be facilitated via video conferencing software.

This workshop 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.

Amaryllis R. Flowers

Tuition $1,415
Code D0102-25

Students explore mixed media as they create works on paper in this dynamic and experimental workshop for students of all levels. The beauty of gouache and its potential for vibrancy and rich, matte tones is introduced and put into practice. Paper and its seductive surface quality and versatility as a substrate is used in a variety of ways to create collaged and multilayered imagery. Students produce multiple works on paper and discover new skills through prompts and exposure to materials, with both abstraction and the figure as options for subject matter.

Portrait and Figure in Watercolor: Curiosity and Awareness

Brian Shure

Tuition $1,415
Code D0103-25

Bring the face and figure to life with the transparency and immediacy of watercolor. This extremely expressive media can also be highly controlled. We work from life as well as photographic sources in this deceivingly direct paint medium. With daily demonstrations and a series of simple and accessible studio exercises, students develop skills controlling resoluble colors, reserving and pulling back highlights and maintaining brilliant and delicate tones that are unique to water-based media. We focus on capturing the essence of the portrait and figure through taking time to look and record what we see.

Painting: Encompassing Wonder

Jody Guralnick

Tuition $1,415
Code D0101-25

Observe nature with fresh eyes, letting time slow to examine the wild world closely. Investigate nature firsthand, using magnifying loupes to inspect subjects, contemplating life, growth, decay, and regeneration. Using the natural world as source material, we read, discuss, observe, and embark on a painting journey. The emphasis of this workshop is thinking 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.
