You Decide Everything painting

Idyllwild Arts Workshop

June 18th, 2018

idyllwildarts-promo-image

There’s still time to sign up for my workshop in Southern California at Idyllwild Arts.

“During Idyllwild Arts’ Summer Program’s 63-year history, the program has attracted numerous notable artists from a wide range of media including Ansel Adams, Elizabeth Murray, Norman Corwin, Lucille Clifton, Meredith Willson and Pete Seeger.”

Intuitive Expressive Painting: Imagining the Unimaginable

Jesse Reno
June 25-29

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 creations. 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 dislikes, connecting you to your practice and imagery from a position of experimentation and instinct, and teaching you to imagine the unimaginable.

Skill Level: All levels
Tuition: $735
Lab Fee: $25, includes a kit with non-toxic acrylic paints, assorted oil pastels, colored pencil, five sheets 18” x 24″ Bristol paper; you may be asked to bring additional materials.
Materials List: Download Here
Enrollment limited to 15 students

Jesse Reno is a self-taught mixed-media painter. He has been drawing since he could hold a pencil, and exhibiting his works since 2000. Jesse has amassed more than 3,000 paintings in the last 12 years, and has exhibited his work extensively across the US, France and Mexico. Jesse’s work has been covered in various art publications including Juxtapoz, Artnews, Artension, and Somerset Studio. One of his largest works can be seen in Winnipeg, Canada where he was commissioned by the Province of Manitoba to create a 25’ x 40’ mural as a reminder of the cultural importance of the Native American people in the region.
