ONE-SHOT STILL LIFES
WITH JENNIFER POCHINSKI
June 12-16, 2017
In the brush doing what it’s doing, it will stumble on what one couldn’t do oneself.
— Robert Motherwell.
The workshop will be based on working from a large still life set up. The morning session will consist of short, small paintings done on fugitive supports such as canvas boards or primed paper. These will be done premier coup — no tweaking later! Each afternoon will be spent on one canvas — a new one each day. The goals: to learn to trust first instincts; to hone skills by painting what is directly observed — but without overthinking or second-guessing.
