The Gentleman’s Magazine served as the primary source for knowledge and learning during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Long articles in extremely small type covered subjects as diverse as science, architecture, antiquities, and history. Stock prices, British and foreign news, and life-cycle announcements were regular features. The illustrations (usually in the form of engravings) enabled those with poor reading skills to engage with the textual content. This course examines the intersection of art and literacy in eighteenth-century Britain and beyond. Note: No class on March 30.

This course examines Eakins’ “modernized” use of a long-standing genre that made The Gross Clinic appear so off-putting to viewers in its initial reception. Discussion will also consider whether Eakins’ participation in the Chicago World’s Fair contributed to the racial inequality promoted by the fair’s organizers. Note: No class on March 31.

Join us at a live Zoom demonstration to watch Linda Kemp create a multi-layered watercolour from start to finish! The presentation will begin with a brief explanation about negative and positive approaches to painting. Linda will also display reference material and visual aids to explain her process and plan before the painting begins. Once the paint flows, you will see her direct application of colour on wet paper to build autumnal foliage and berries. By using fresh paint and without drying between layers, it will be a game of controlling the uncontrollable. Sit back in your favourite chair and see what sort of mischief she can get into. Following the demonstration, you will have the chance to ask questions.

In this workshop we will create beautiful mandala designs on rocks. Beginning with a smooth, roundish or oval rock (about 3” diameter) we will use dotting tools, acrylic craft paint and small brushes to create a mandala-like pattern. This is a delicate, meditative process. I encourage you to play soft music in your background. This process is not difficult, but takes time and practice to perfect. After the paint has set you will glaze the rock with gloss medium. Once you have these tools and instructions you can continue on to create beautiful rocks. I often leave these in hidden places for others to “discover”.

Storytelling in all its forms has played a critical role in constructing our collective understanding of the United States of America. From grand history paintings to Broadway musicals, Americans have used various forms of art to share our struggles, celebrate our triumphs and articulate what unites us as citizens. Whether creating a national identity or sustaining cultural and political norms, mythmaking has always been an important part of our legacy. Why do democratic nations rely on the art of visual storytelling, and how does this affect and influence national culture, morals and politics?

Join us in painting this morning scene from Newfoundland. In this workshop you will: Paint edges that merge into the next, changing color and value with no blossoms or “run-backs.” Build a variety of textures. Mix neutrals that create the mood, and use complements to make those neutrals come alive. Increase your facility to judge the amount of pigment and water in your brush, your mixture and on your paper so that the value that you put down, dries almost exactly the same value. Practice putting a full loaded brush stroke on your paper, and leaving it alone, thus avoiding over-working and “muddy” mixtures. Distinguish between the effects of opaque pigments vs. transparent pigments, and the times it is appropriate to use each.

Using ink and string we will create random lines on watercolor paper. Within these lines we will look at the shapes and patterns. Using our imagination and unconscious mind, we will be guided to find hidden images within the shapes and lines. We will then use our small brush and more ink to bring forth these images and create an overall composition. These paintings will be finished in watercolor paint. This process is fun and playful. The images are often childlike or fantasy-like and most delightful.

In the second session the planar structures of the head (you will be introduced to the concept of Big Form Modeling) and facial features will be articulated vis-a-vis step-by-step demonstrations and individual guidance.

Saturdays, 10:00 to 12:30 PST March 27 to April 10 (Three sessions)

Learn the value of a value study while we plan out our colored masterpiece with a value-painting. Through the process, we will learn to simplify a subject into its basic shapes and the multitude of values into four. We’ll unify the painting by connecting individual shapes with beads of color through the multiple stages of the painting process. As David demonstrates, step by step, time is provided so that you can paint what he just demoed. Critique and feedback are an important part of the class. Since the class is interactive, you will be able to ask questions directly to David, show your work through your computer to get personal feedback and you will also be able to see everyone else’s work.

Jane’s love of life bubbles up and over through her motivational artistry approach, as she teaches students to just relax and have a good time. They truly enjoy her outlook and her methodology that enables the connection between the artist and their art to flow openly without reservation. Jane demonstrates and vividly describes to her students how to utilize color with confidence. As a student, you can look forward to painting still life, landscapes, figures, and if time permits, you might even explore the exciting form of abstraction. Jane's students leave with more than a few canvases in hand; they leave with a sense of accomplishment, a new appreciation for their own abilities and the motivation to keep on painting.

This course is a four part modular format enabling online mentorship for an entire year…. a unique opportunity at a great value. The course is designed to encourage artists at all levels to explore new ways of seeing the world around them, to recognize the potential subject matter in everyday scenes, and how to translate that into paintings that share one’s unique vision. Whether the scenes are inspired by exotic travels, memories of a favorite destination, or simply your own backyard, the success of any painting relies on a solid understanding of the basic principles of picture making in tandem with your creativity and passion.
