The convincing depiction of form in three-dimensional space is one of the great conceptual breakthroughs in Western art. In this class, our main focus will be on the study of form in a spatial context, and, we will use observational approaches in the construction of our images. We will begin by drawing the figure on toned paper with charcoal and white chalk, exploring physical viewpoint, effective composition and rendering of light and shadow to shape our expression and create a unified pictorial image. The goal is to encourage a sensitive approach to handling a wide range of values, in tandem with a variety of lines and edges.

This class will explore the essential relationships of shape, proportion, and value within the condition of light bathing subject matter. The painterly medium of charcoal contributes significantly to understanding the practice of building a painting. Drawing in line and moving to masses, students strive to draw fluidly with concentration on value and proportion, identifying a process that is particularly suited for training painters. The course begins with shorter exercises, as detail-oriented seeing emerges in still life drawing after students learn to prioritize the order of the masses.

Tonal painting is the creation of form and dimension by modulating value of color from light mass to shadow mass. Color harmony is created through an understanding of temperature shift from light to dark. Working from the still life, this oil painting workshop relates the concepts of tone, temperature, and key. The palette will be “keyed” according to position of the painter to the light source. Students will be instructed how to mix oil color, organize their palette mixtures, and maintain color harmony, while painting wet-into-wet. Please make sure to bring a large palette and a high-quality mixing knife. Mornings will include lecture and demonstration, with afternoons devoted to painting.

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.

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.

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.

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.

With a slide presentation she explores how great paintings use form, space, light and color for expressive purposes, how they use rhythm and tension to organize a complex set-up, how they find meaning and drama in a simple object, and how they create a sound composition out of random objects. Her ability to communicate about painting and her expertise provide a rare opportunity to look at great paintings from a creator's point of view.
