Abstract the Figure 1: Make it Flat & Simplified
Take one or both workshops in January & February which explore ways to make abstract figure paintings inspired by drawings made from life. First you draw from a live figure model and then paint from your drawings. Abstract the Figure 1 is inspired by painters such as Matisse, Miro, and Leger who simplified the form of the figure, distilling it to large, flat shapes of brilliant color. This workshop includes issues of composition, texture, brushwork, and line. Previous painting and drawing experience is recommended. Oil or Acrylic paints are welcomed.

Portrait Painting in the Manner of Max Beckmann
Explore the work and portrait painting techniques of Max Beckmann in this two-day workshop. Beckmann was a 20th century German painter, printmaker and a teacher who rejected perspective and classical proportion in favor of more expressive and objective art. His portraits are colorful, with textural brushstrokes and strong black lines that defined the form of the figure. His concerns for surface texture were inspired by Cezanne and Rembrandt. You will paint from a live model in the manner of Beckmann, making some short painting sketches and one extended study on canvas. Some painting experience recommended. Oil or Acrylic paints.
