LIVE PAINTING WORKSHOPS OVER ZOOM

These four-week groups are for abstract and semi-abstract painters who want thoughtful, individualized guidance on their own work.

You bring the paintings you're working on. Together, we look closely at what's happening in them: what's strong, what isn't resolved yet, where your eye is getting stuck, and what possibilities you may not be seeing.

We work with composition, color, shape, rhythm, movement, balance and the development of your own visual language.

These are small, supportive groups with plenty of individual attention.

“Andrea’s painting critique class was exactly what I needed: a fun, inspiring and stimulating learning experience. Andrea is able to look into a painting and see through very skilled and experienced eyes what is balanced, harmonious and cohesive and what areas need further work. Between her most illuminating feedback and encouragement along with the use of Photoshop to help make effective changes, this class met all my needs and more

What to Expect

HOW THE GROUPS WORK

Over four 90-minute sessions, we work directly with the paintings you're making.

Bring work in progress, paintings that feel stuck, questions you're wrestling with, or work you're simply not sure how to move forward.

We'll explore:

Composition and design

Color relationships and using color with greater intention

Shape, rhythm, balance and movement

Paintings that feel unresolved or stuck

Technical questions in acrylic, oil, cold wax and mixed media

Developing a more distinctive visual language

Building momentum and maintaining a regular studio practice

You'll also have opportunities to share work between sessions so the conversation and learning can continue throughout the month

SEE THE POSSIBILITIES BEFORE YOU CHANGE YOUR PAINTING

One of the most useful tools I bring to these groups is live digital editing.

When you share a painting, I can work directly on an image of it using digital drawing tools. We might move or resize a shape, simplify an area, alter a color relationship, change a value, strengthen a composition or explore an entirely different direction.

Instead of simply telling you what I see, I can show you.

Nothing happens to your actual painting. We're experimenting visually, which gives you possibilities to consider when you return to the studio.

Each session also includes a short presentation of contemporary artists whose work gives us another way into the ideas we're exploring: color, shape, rhythm, composition, abstraction and personal visual language.

This is not a demonstration-based workshop where you spend your time watching me paint.

We work on your work.

All sessions are recorded and sent to participants.
