VIRTUAL WORKSHOP
Possibilities in Painting, Drawing & Collage

Aug 30 - Sep 3, 2021

1PM-4PM MST

Concept

This virtual, project-based workshop for artists of all levels guides students to making unique and personal works of art while combining painting, drawing and collage. Technical exploration, perception, development of ideas, intuition, invention, representation and communication are at the core of this workshop. Students explore different ways of working with acrylic paint and expand on the idea of what painting is by integrating alternative painting materials. Each painting begins with drawing and collaging in order to generate our own sources of inspiration. Technical demonstrations, facilitated via video-conferencing software, will encourage students to boldly explore different approaches to art making and to foster fearlessness when tackling new materials and processes.

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.

Media

Painting in acrylic, drawing, collage, one-on-one and group critiques.

In Translation: Abstraction In Process

Corey Antis

Tuition $1,195
Code D0101-23

How do we perceive what we observe and how do we translate what we perceive into an abstract language? By investigating the processes of observation and painting, this course introduces students to the exploration of abstraction. Students experiment with both oil and water-based media, use direct and indirect painting approaches, develop a strong base of technical and conceptual knowledge, and discover how visual metaphor and material processes work together. Students are encouraged to experiment with individual interests that emerge from color study, drawing exercises, and visual projects to find their own abstract language.

Painting as Metamorphosis

Jody Guralnick

Tuition $1,195
Code D0102-23

Dive into metamorphosis, the state which not only defines nature but also the process of painting. Using nature as source material, we read, discuss, observe, and then embark on a painting journey, thinking about painting as process and movement rather than as a fixed form. Students explore ways to talk about nature with paint without needing to reproduce observations in a literal way, melding abstraction and representation, discovering and producing depth, and 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.

Portrait and Figure in Watercolor: Curiosity and Awareness

Brian Shure

Tuition $1,195
Code D0103-23

Bring the face and figure to life with the transparency and immediacy of watercolor, an extremely expressive media that can also be highly controlled. 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 work from life as well as photographic sources in this deceivingly direct paint medium, capturing the essence of the portrait and figure by taking time to look and record what we see.
