THE ACT OF PAINTING
WITH JENNIFER POCHINSKI
November 8-12, 2019
Friday-Tuesday
The act of painting is not about executing something well. It’s what happens instead.
The week will be about setting up exercises that will encourage something unexpected to happen.
During the five days of the workshop we will work on an enormous still life, work from a model and finally end with a day of self portraits from life or photos. We will also devote one day to working from photos. Three of the five days will focus on figuration.
The goals: to learn to trust first instincts, to hone skills by painting what is directly observed — but without overthinking or second-guessing, rendering or decorating. It will be a week of unfiltered mark making; maybe some stretching into new territory which each painter can carry into her own practice.
Participants who paint in oils will get the most out of this workshop.
Price includes a model session.
