Description
What Painting Is – And how to do it well. Any painting, in any medium, is made of pigments and a viscous substance, and the complex impulses of our mind and heart. Nothing less or more than magic. Over the course of five days together we can work on or play with the complexities and conundrums that confound many painters. I’ve been through so many twists and turns in my own path and can help you find your own best way to paint.
Materials List
You will need to bring:
You already have a developed way of working, so we will each work with our own media. Any medium. Any process. Any subject. Almost any scale. We will find your leading edge, and you’ll work that edge. Bring whatever you need for your current way of working. Also come prepared to expand on that or to limit it, if that turns out to be your challenge. There are easels and tables in the studio. There is a floor but no walls to work on. Media can include oils, acrylics, water-based media, charcoal or graphite drawing, ink, collage or encaustic. (We can accommodate up to two encaustic painters. For encaustic painters please communicate with Sitka ahead of the workshop)
