SUMMARY:Still Life\, As a Way to Compose with Iona Ellsworth
DESCRIPTION:This one day\, introductory workshop will focus on using the still life genre as a means of learning to compose artistically. We will think about how to create cohesive yet dynamic arrangements while exploring narrative threads. We will discuss common “types” of compositions and investigate their possible combinations and variations\, as well as covering the meaning behind concepts like distribution\, interchange\, and rhythm\, among others. \nThe first hour of the class will be spent analyzing what makes a strong composition. We will deconstruct a few masterworks and go over different flexible conventions and frameworks. \nThe remainder of the morning will be dedicated to creating several small poster studies of different compositions using a variety of objects. I encourage students to try out many different arrangements\, focusing on creating unity with line\, tone and color. \nAfter lunch\, I will help students select one\, strong composition and they will have the remainder of the afternoon to begin their painting. The goal is not necessarily to finish the painting\, but to learn how to scale a poster study up and to keep the “whole” working together\, even as they render objects individually. \nStudents should have some experience and familiarity with drawing and painting in oil. \n\n\n\n\nRequired Supplies \n\n\n\n\nCanvas paper pad or sketchbook\, at least 11 x 14\nThese are for creating small poster studies. Use canvas paper if you’d like to make your poster studies in paint\, and a sketchbook if you prefer to draw. Canson has a good line of canvas paper pads. \n\n\n8 x 10 canvas\, panel\, or loose linen/canvas sheet for your final composition\nWhatever surface you are comfortable with. I like the centurion brand for both rigid panels and loose linen sheets. \n\n\nA combination of bristle and soft natural hair brushes\nBring what you usually use and are comfortable with. I recommend having at least one smaller stiff brush that holds a decent point for drawing. \n\n\nOil paint\nI recommend a somewhat limited palette of: ivory black\, ultramarine blue\, burnt sienna\, alizarin crimson or quinacridone red\, cadmium red medium\, yellow ochre\, cadmium yellow light and titanium or lead white. Any brand is ok\, however I recommend investing in artist’s grade. \n\n\nPalette cups with gamsol and linseed oil \n\n\nPalette\nWhatever you are comfortable using. I use a handheld wooden palette from @traditional.palette.co. I recommend a glass or wooden palette with plenty of mixing room over disposable paper palettes. \n\n\n2H\, H and HB pencils\, kneaded eraser\, pen eraser\, pencil sharpener or knife and sandpaper \n\n\nRuler or t-square for measuring out a 4:5 aspect ratio for your poster studies \n\n\nPaper towels (I like viva or blue shop towels) \n\n\nBlue tape \n\n\nObjects to paint\nObjects of different size\, color\, shape\, material\, texture and classification. Since this is only a one day workshop\, try to keep your objects simple but interesting. If you have a narrative in mind\, try to bring one or two objects that support that narrative. Some ideas include: fruit\, vegetables\, bread\, kitchen utensils\, books\, paper items\, etc. Avoid overly complex items\, or items made of glass. Consider bringing different color cloths to experiment with your background colors. \n\n\nMahl stick (optional) \n\n\nGloves (optional)

SUMMARY:A Shared Legacy of Friendship\, Artist’s Life\, and Lifelong Learning with Nancy Guzik & Rose Frantzen
DESCRIPTION:Two friends\, two lifetimes of painting experience\, doubling the opportunity for attendees to learn. Rose and Nancy are happy to share and teach this comprehensive five-day workshop. \n\n\nThey’ve decided to focus the workshop on the “model with the still life”\, providing the student with the opportunity to explore a larger composition or\, if preferred\, numerous smaller paintings\, in extended hours of studio learning.\n\nFrom their common history of working with Richard Schmid\, Rose and Nancy will connect his foundational teaching of Alla Prima\, direct painting\, learning to see\, and the four principles of value\, color\, drawing\, and edges\, with what they themselves have learned through experience and emphasis. Nancy and Rose hope to guide attendees toward what each will need for fuller expression of themselves on canvas. We will explore the importance of questioning as a lifelong practice\, equipping participants to continue developing their artistic vision and problem-solving skills after they return home.\n\nNancy and Rose will both demonstrate and will attend every student’s easel throughout morning and afternoon sessions\, emphasizing teaching during the hours the model is present. Evening sessions will be a looser format\, giving students time to work on still-life sections and background areas. Rose and Nancy will also work on their own paintings\, providing students the opportunity to observe the way each teacher moves a larger composition toward a finished work.\n\nThe official hours of the workshop are 9 am to 5 pm. As an added bonus\, Nancy and Rose will lead optional evening sessions each day from 6 pm to 9 pm. Dinners will be enjoyed in the Palette and Chisel galleries amongst Richard’s exhibition. Stories\, perspectives\, wisdom\, and laughter\, are sure to ring forward from the days Rose and Nancy sat alongside Richard\, carrying through to these days\, as they sit alongside you\, enmeshed in the joy of painting and fellowship.\n\n\n\n\n\nSpecial NotesThe workshop will take place in our third floor studio. \nMaximum: 20 Attendees\, 2 models\, 10 students a each model.\nThere will be a shared model fee.
