PAINTING THE FOUND WORLD

 

This workshop will help students to develop the mindset and skill-set required to make compelling paintings from observation without having to manipulate or set up a subject. We will work through the process of making sketches, an extended drawing, color-studies and a painting using the spaces of the studio building and nearby cityscape as our subject. The major topics of the course will be simplifying overwhelming complexity, creating space through drawing and color, creating a sense of light through color/value interpretation and understanding the interaction between 3-dimensional description and 2-dimensional design.
