Painting From Atlanta
5-day workshop with Keiran Brennan Hinton
July 11 -15, 2022
All levels
Painting from life is a practice in patience and is an attempt to expand our perception and attentiveness to our surroundings. Atlanta, Idaho is a town that often appears to exist in a separate time, cut off from the standard routines of daily life, one must adjust their internal clock and rely on the sense to feel oriented. By painting the spaces, objects and places of Atlanta, we can investigate what is often overlooked or unseen. The eye is a muscle that can be worked and strengthened through this type of sustained looking.
During this workshop, each student will complete approximately ten observational oil paintings, originating from prompts or projects given each morning. Possible prompts may include; a painting of your reflection in a window, a painting made outside at night, a painting of something moving, a painting using a single color or hue, a painting of an object that you can’t name and a painting of someone else's painting. Each exercise will be followed by a small critique/group conversation and accompanied by technical demonstrations about color mixing and mark making.
