Painting: Landscape as Language

June 23-26, 2016

Workshop Description:  I believe that as artists our subject matter is not really the thing we’re saying, it’s merely the language we’re saying it in. In that spirit, we will use the traditional subject matter of landscape as a vehicle with which to explore our own voices. We will focus on oil painting, but employ mixed media to exercise, study and stretch our own perceptions of landscape. We will practice letting our natural instincts and tendencies work for the painting rather than against, literally using who you are to further your process of art-making. There will be a spirit of openness and grace towards ourselves, so that we can listen carefully to our surroundings and stories. My hope is that after this week, you will better understand many techniques of painting, but mostly you will better understand your own native tongue.

This class is best suited for those who already have some basic painting experience, but we will be happy to accommodate ambitious beginners as well!
