This painting Intensive is about making abstractly expressive brushwork, shapes, forms, lines, and colors working from a model. The day begins with a visual presentation of Willem de Kooning and Grace Hartigan to understand the foundation of abstract expressionism through the lens of the figure as subject matter. When the model arrives, we will begin by drawing with charcoal on a 24 x 18-inch sketchpad to warm up. Then, we will alternate between two different long poses.
Students will work on two or more paintings simultaneously with a break for lunch and group critique. As the day continues, you will become more present and immediate with paint, gaining a deeper relationship to the material as well as how it is applied. A follow up online affirming and insightful critique on Zoom with Alana Barrett will complete the workshop.
