A hands-on zoom seminar in paint, exploring visual intimacy and guided questions in paint, including:

• The voice of the surface

• Observation as visual introspection

• The choreography of navigation

• The craft of visual memory

• Discomfort at difficult borders

• The moods of color

• Noticing when a butterfly lands on your finger

Many of us settle into a carefully scripted and protected practice that keeps us safe within the boundaries of security. And when we do face challenge, to find our way we often turn to someone else’s scripted program related to how they paint. But that someone else is not you.

There is no way to paint other than your way, but it’s much easier to follow the path of another than to deal with the unknown within your own experience. And then there is the question of who are you?

Through a sequence of prompts and exercises, these 3 aggressive days in paint will ask you to self-interrogate through the lenses of analytical and improvisational visual mind, and it will not be for the meek; but you will emerge with a renewed, expanded and confident sense of strength that you will begin to own.

For the three days, we’ll be using acrylic paint.

Dec 4th, Thursday night, opening slide talk, 6:30pm EST, 90 minutes with q&a at the end:

“The Structure of the Visual Moment”, a look into visual interiority, the language of form and our process of decision making to get there.

Dec 5, 6, 7

Friday, 10am - 2:30pm

Saturday, 10am - 2pm

Sunday, 10am - 2pm

and the days tend to run a bit over so leave time on the other end.
