Details and Focus

Purpose: The purpose of the workshop is to introduce the Boston School color and light methods to oil or pastel painters who ideally already have some level of competence and confidence in drawing.

Major focus will be on color and light, visual order of effects, painterly drawing, simultaneous color and drawing, direct painting without mediums, working from the outside in, the arabesque, and the anchoring of all aspects of the visual world. Emphasis will be on the 'good' start, the lay-in, of the picture since it contains the keys to the entire painting process

Structure will include Boston School presentations and analysis of the underlying thinking, demonstration(s), and hands-on critiques of assigned work from still life to portrait. We will also take weekly trips to museums of the London area focusing on relevant work.

Instruction and Critiques will be, minimally, 3 days per week for the first 2 weeks of the workshop. During the last 2 weeks, every afternoon there will be a portrait and/or figure model from 1-4 pm.

Location: The workshop will be hosted at two separate, but close in proximity, locations in London, England. Location addresses will be given at a later date.
