PAINTING REBOOT

WITH JENNIFER POCHINSKI


It’s easy to create art. What’s difficult is creating the new conditions in which art can arise.

— Brancusi

ONLINE WORKSHOP. Going back to basics. During the first two weeks we will work on short, repetitive exercises, designed to develop muscle memory. We will push to those outer limits that we don't always access when painting. Two still-life assignments will follow — these will encourage working in an open-ended manner. Investigation and discovery are the goals in working from observation, whether objects or self-portraits. Most work will be carried out on paper or on top of old paintings. Participants may work on any scale. There will be slide presentations and demos that illustrate the focus for the week. Exercises will be introduced at each meeting. Participants will post their work on Padlet for group feedback on Zoom. Enrollment is limited to 16 participants.
