ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
Jill will help you realize that design is truly where creativity exists!
Elevate your landscape paintings by exploring concept-driven design choices. Finding the balance of unity and variety between and within the elements of shape, value, and color, is key to creating stronger paintings. We will be making those choices according to our subject matter and what we want to say about it. Setting an intention (establishing a concept) and then exploring your design choices, using these 'tools', will expand your vocabulary as a painter. The possibilities are endless! This is a design course that extends beyond compositional division and placement devices. It extends beyond thinking that landscape painting is an attempt to create a literal 3D rendering that the viewer can walk into. Jill takes a more expansive view that a painting is a decorative 2D panel upon which we create an aesthetically pleasing arrangement of color shapes. Regardless of style, regardless of detail-level, I argue that aligning your composition with your concept (by managing unity and variety within shape, value, and color) is the essential step in moving forward with your work.
Jill will structure the workshop through set exercises, lectures, demos, and brainstorming discussions. Students will be working from their own visual material as well as that provided. There will be an optional class dinner early in the week so that students can chat to Jill informally.
Note: Advanced-beginner to advanced level painters. You must be an experienced and regular painter to fully benefit from this class.
