All Level In-Studio Workshop "Freedom And Expression" - oct 16-20th

Class Description

My classes are accessible to those who have never painted or drawn in their lives, and will teach even the most seasoned artists new ways of creating and addressing their work.

With a daily schedule of demonstration and lecture.

each day will include various painting demos on techniques, and engagements in the creative process.

we will combine these lessons to create pieces rich in variation, and ideas that enocurage dialogue within the work.

through the process we will learn to let mistakes lead us forward rather than stop us. rather than struggling with an idea we learn to recompose and reconceptualize our path.

these collisions and detours will lead us to a new, richer understanding.

we continue until we find fulfillment as we search for a full story and experience.

Imagining the Unimaginable – with Jesse Reno

In this mixed-media painting class you will learn to create paintings that emerge from an abstract base of markings, colors, line, and shape to form expressive and organic forms and enviorments. You will learn painting and mark-making techniques that will encourage imagery and connection to your work. Through a series of painting exercises, you will explore and express your ideas by imagining what could be created from abstraction rather than confining your ideas to predetermined outcomes.

Within the process, we will create narrative dialogue by noting what we see and feel in our work. Through the practice of subtractive painting we will remove the parts that are no longer relevant or keep us trapped from progress. This teaches us choice and freedom to change direction in our work. We continually build layers within our paintings combining fragments of past ideas with the new until we arrive at a feeling of completion. Through this engagement we learn to experiment, take risks, re-associate our work from perspectives unconfined by our expectations. This allows us to see things clearly and move to a more expressed and personal engagement when painting.

Using simple materials and techniques you will be free to express yourself within your paintings in new ways – finding yourself as a painter from the raw base of art, learning your personal likes and dislikes, connecting you to your practice and imagery. using experimentation and instinct, you will learn to imagine the unimaginable.

Enrollment limited to 12 students.
