Photographer and gallerist Alfred Stieglitz was the first American to exhibit the work of European modernist artists such as Auguste Rodin, Paul Cezanne, Henri Matisse, and Pablo Picasso. But it was his support of artists such as Georgia O’Keeffe, John Marin, Marsden Hartley, and Charles Demuth that transformed the landscape of art in the United States. This talk will look at the origins of Stieglitz’s galleries and closely consider the work of these artists and others whom he championed. William Perthes is an educator, author, and curator. He is the Bernard C. Watson Director of Adult Education at the Barnes Foundation. Bill has a background in philosophy and art history.

In this workshop, beginning to advanced students will explore ways to create unique, personal works of art based on their own reference photos. Participants will learn how to find dynamic compositions with strong focal points and push color to enhance their vision. We’ll step away from the confinement of exact “copying” of reference materials and move toward finding our own interpretation of a scene. Jill Stefani Wagner received a B.F.A. in painting from The University of Michigan School of Art. She owned an award-winning advertising firm in Ann Arbor MI, before “seeing the light” and becoming a full-time artist. For more information, visit jillwagnerart.com.

This one-day workshop teaches participants techniques for creating varied edges in their painting. You'll learn how edge adjustments can enhance visual impact, guide the viewer’s focus, and build dynamic compositions. We will explore how factors like atmosphere, light, values, color, motion, textures, and form create opportunities for different edges in our paintings. All skill levels welcome. Bring photo references. Students can work in oil, acrylic, or gouache.

The two-day workshop will explore the problem of depicting the meeting of indoor and outdoor light. A figure will pose on successive days in one of the center’s classrooms framed by a window view. On the first day, we will do two (or more) small paintings to vigorously achieve the silhouette energy released in the meeting of two lights of different color and degree. On the second day, the workshop will stretch out on a slightly larger image for an all-day picture. Part of the interest of this day’s study is to develop the detail and incident within the governing fields of light and shadow. The hope is to gain insight into how all light-based images generate structures more suggestive of spaces than things.

The convincing depiction of form in three-dimensional space is one of the great conceptual breakthroughs in Western art. We will begin by drawing items from still life on toned paper. How do you begin a drawing, and when do you stop? We will explore physical viewpoint, composition and the rendering of light and shadow to create mood and feeling. Recreate what you see with power and fresh vision. The goal is to build a drawing vocabulary that communicates your thoughts and feelings. The class will include demonstrations, discussions of masterworks (traditional and contemporary) and thoughtful feedback on class work. The drawing participants will discover this to be a valuable resource for more advanced work in drawing and painting.

Workshop participants will begin by learning to handle watercolor materials: papers, paints, brushes, palettes, and more. From the bold application of washes to fine detail, we’ll explore specifics: how to begin a watercolor and how to conclude a work, wet-in-wet to dry-brush, what to put in and what to leave out. The skillful use of the elements of composition and the simplification of form will provide a means to achieving dynamic results. We’ll also explore ways of creating a sense of light and mood in a watercolor, through the use of structured tone. The class will be looking at the watercolors by J. S. Sargent, Winslow Homer and Andrew Wyeth critically. Class members will be encouraged to work from still-life, and photos to start.

I will lead you through the process of capturing the overall essence of a particular place and will cover techniques to render the changing light and everyday development in the plein air setting. We will focus on a few key factors including drawing with color shapes, breaking down the motif into a minimum number of color values, the importance of edge quality, and the use of editing. I will conduct a quick painting demo highlighting the feel of the location and to help students with an idea of execution. The objective will be to lay in the whole underpainting, then we will break it down and reconstruct it through the layering process. We will conclude the painting workshop with a group critique.

This workshop will focus on “seeing” accurate color in the skin tones and color mixing, while painting from a live model. We will look at how “light on form” breaks down into simple relative values, how the values affect the color chroma and temperature, and how the color of the light source affects the local color. Instructor will demonstrate how to use a chromatic palette of colors to mix the right value as well as beautiful, luminous skin tones. We will use a grey toned surface so that we can paint directly with color after doing a simple block in. Students can choose whether they want to focus on the portrait or the figure. One-on-one feedback at your easels in a supportive, friendly atmosphere.

In the mid-1940s a group of young American artists settled in New York City and together forged a new visual language, mostly non-representational, that was to have a global impact on painting. Today called Abstract Expressionism, the often mural size works of Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Clyfford Still, and Robert Motherwell relocated the epicenter of modern painting to the United States and their work continues to resonate with audiences today. Join us for an in depth look at these and other artists associated with this ground breaking movement. William Perthes is an educator, author, and curator. He is the Bernard C.
