Description

Observation, Abstraction & Invention: Still Life & Figure Painting

All Levels

Medium: Oil and Water-Based Media

Instructor: Nancy Gruskin

Learn approaches to still life and figure painting that emphasize the abstraction of form and the expressive possibilities of color and composition.  At times, we will work from direct observation of a visually rich still life or a clothed model.  These paintings will inform other paintings as we learn to combine direct observation with painting from memory, from previous work, and from external prompts.  Exercises will focus on loosening up, achieving fresh, unmuddied color and developing new approaches to composition.  The emphasis throughout the class will be on liberation from any so-called rules of painting.  (This class will include a model fee directly paid to the instructor.)
