Cover artiSt: kUrt SolmSSeN Guest Teaching Artist Solmssen is a return guest instructor at Gage. His bold, yet sensitive, paintings record his daily life in Puget Sound, and have been described as creating “appealing traditionalist weddings of painterly materialism and radiant illusionism” by The New York Times. Solmssen says, “I’m interested in having a narrative in the paintings, but not in storytelling . . . it’s more about something I see, a certain moment.” This summer, take advantage of a rare opportunity to learn directly from Solmssen in the Landscape Painting in Seattle weeklong workshop. See page 9 for full details. Cover: Yellow Boat in Blue Bay, detail, 1999, 50" x 70", oil on canvas

BaCk Cover artiSt: emma NeStvold Gage Teen Artist, age 16 Last year, Nestvold explored portrait drawing through the Gage Teen Summer Workshops and says, “My artwork is an expression of emotion, usually human sentiment. Often faces become the focus of my work, both the faces of the people around me and the captivating faces from photos of strangers. At Gage I have been given the opportunity to work with professional artists and to refine my skills. I have become a better painter through my work at Gage, and look forward to continuing to develop my skills.” Read more about the Youth Programs at Gage on pages 28-29.

aBoUT GaGe: introduction

inside out: the pleasure of painting en plein air

ome of my happiest hours as an artist have been spent outdoors painting the landscape. The discomfort of working in the open air, including wind and weather, bugs and sun, are more than balanced out by the pleasure of the chase. Occasionally, passers-by peek over my shoulder or stop to chat, but no one ever expresses surprise at seeing an artist painting outdoors. But not so long ago, it was rare indeed for painters to work outside of their studios. Until the 19th century, landscape painting was strictly an indoor activity. Artists might do quick studies from nature — we have a great many beautiful examples from Baroque artists like Rembrandt and Claude Lorrain — but finished artworks were always studio productions. A landscape painting by Rembrandt’s contemporary Ruysdael, for example, was worked up with a level of detail and polish that was unattainable outside of the workshop. Creating a picture indoors also freed up artists like Ruysdael to invent scenes only loosely based on existing locations, adding features like mountains or waterfalls that were non-existent in Holland. It took 19th century poets, inventors, and anti-academics to push painters outdoors. The Romantic poets saw unspoiled nature as a source of artistic inspiration far more deserving of attention than the gray and industrial city. Enterprising manufacturers made the art studio truly portable with French easels and tubes for paints, while the newly invented trains made the countryside accessible for day trips. Last but not least, anti-academic painters championed the artistic value of the plein-air sketch, which began competing in the annual Salons with the far more highly polished productions of studio painters. Soon the freshness and energy of on-location works caught the fancy of the art-buying public, and the demand for studio landscapes all but disappeared. In the United States, many regions developed large groups of outdoor painters, most notably the Southwest, Southern California, and New England. The Pacific Northwest, with its less sanguine weather and smaller artistic population, never developed as large a plein-air movement as these other regions, but a strong show could be mounted with the works of artists including Michael Stasinos, Jim Lamb, Kurt Solmssen and Mitchell Albala. For Gage, including landscape painting as part of its curriculum was a “natural,” with the school’s strong emphasis on working from observation. Some of the first workshops at Gage were outdoor classes in New Mexico. Students from all parts of the country converged at Ghost Ranch, where we traipsed out on dirt roads in search of the colored mesas made famous by Georgia O’Keeffe. Later we moved our summer programs to Puget Sound, using both the parks of the city and the nearby countryside as painting locales. I’m happy to report that Gage summer programming this year includes both a return to the New Mexico of O’Keeffe — including visits to her home and museum (see p. 11) — as well as more landscape workshops in our own region than ever before (see pp. 8 & 9). Although it may be cloudy now, I can assure you that the skies will be clear by this summer. Grab your sun hat and sun screen and join us for the most enjoyable of all outdoor activities, celebrating the natural world in paint.

¡Qué noche maravillosa! Friday night, March 4, Gage hosted its annual Gage Collector’s Gala — this year with a Spanish theme — in the stunning sanctuary of Saint Mark’s Cathedral. Our sold-out crowd of art collectors and Gage supporters will remember this remarkable evening for a long time — the collection of donated artworks, the sangría and Spanish cuisine, the entertaining classical guitarist, tenor and Flamenco dancers, and the beautiful gala venue. As one guest aptly expressed, “It feels like I’m on an opera set!” The gala was not only beautiful, but we are also happy to announce that we raised $200,000 for the Gage Annual Fund and Youth Programs. During the evening, we celebrated the cultural contributions of Jim Kelly and his remarkable funding agency 4Culture; we watched a video about our long-running free Teen Art Studios and raised $44,000 to support youth programming at Gage; we drew the winning raffle ticket for two on the Arte d’España tour purchased by Gage artists Meg Murch and Roger Burk; we raised a deliciously sweet $13,000 with our over-the-top Art of Dessert table; and we let everyone eat cake! We cannot thank all of you enough! From the incredible generosity of our table captains and gala guests, to our corporate sponsors, to our volunteers, and last but certainly not least, a special thank you to our generous and talented donating artists. Apreciamos profundamente su generosidad!

Begin your weeklong exploration of the portrait by covering the basic proportions of the head — the structure being one of your most important considerations. You start with drawing in charcoal on canvas with special attention paid to composition and perceptual analysis. Once the structure is established, you fix your drawings and begin under painting in earth tones, wiping away the highlights. Then you move into painting, where color issues are examined, including how to get the best flesh tones and how to use warm and cool. Wa1112

Luminism may best be described as an American counterpoint to European Impressionism, but with no visible brush strokes, evoking an effect of being transformed by a pervasive light that seems to turn the work into an intense and silent glow. Over time, Luminism has developed into a kind of mystic, sublime spectacle of awesome serenity or quiet power through sensual paint handling, atmospheric color effects and frequently strong contrasts of light and dark. In our own time, Luminism continues in the works of Mark Rothko and Clyfford Still in their searches for the abstract absolute with an evocation of the forces of nature and landscape history. In this workshop, you paint in oil or acrylic to emulate and study these works and devices, including an original work, in order to adopt their use in a logical, consistent and convincing manner relevant to the art of today. Explore the ideas, techniques, and color discoveries of artists Rothko and Still along with Whistler, Church, Lane, Sargent, Parrish, Bierstadt, Inness and Diebenkorn. $15 materials fee payable to instructor.

How do you inject compositional excitement and complex subject matter into your paintings? Historically, classical painters used drawing as a preliminary means to work out their compositions and motifs. At Gage, students with strong drawing skills are invited to study under a master figurative realist to learn how to develop complex pictorial compositions utilizing different modes of drawing.

Painting a multi-figure composition in an interior space represents a challenging pictorial project, even for an advanced artist. In this workshop, you learn how to work from multiple-model poses, as well as photographic references, beginning with monochromatic drawings that develop your compositional focus. You then create color studies based on your drawings, exploring the color harmonies created through the compositional effects of hue and saturation. Finally, you produce an easel-sized alla prima painting of the entire scene.

As a foundation for your own contemporary works, Laurence instructs you in the indirect painting techniques of the Venice and Florence schools of the 15th and 16th centuries. Working from the model, each day you progress through set stages of this rigorous painting technique in order to complete one finished portrait by workshop’s end.

Each day, Laurence introduces you to a different method to make in-depth drawings from the model and the background around the model. Laurence also demonstrates various ways to make extended drawings from the figure, regardless of the length of the pose. You work in conté crayon, charcoal, ink, water media and acrylic, treating each blank page like a canvas that you enliven with your tonal compositions, filling the paper from edge to edge. Your final preparatory studies feature active figures in interiors which you create from sketching the live model, your preliminary drawings and reference photographs. Your final multi-figure composition is intended to give you fertile visual material for future painting projects. Wa1119

inT/adv levels

You are also invited to explore the textures and color structures that furniture, drapery and props can add to your composition. Most important, you work to create a believable spatial environment for your figure tableaux that suggests narrative content. Demonstrations presented in this workshop include how digital photography and Photoshop can become an integral part of your painting process, how to develop narrative structure through composition and color, and the progressive steps — from general to specific — of how to develop a complex, multi-figure composition.

Progressing from compositional studies, you develop a careful underdrawing of your portrait on the canvas and fill in your portrait with a monochromatic grisaille painting to establish your tonal gradations. You then overpaint your portrait with a classic dead palette of red oxide, yellow ochre and cold black plus white before applying a warm/ cool palette that pushes the value contrasts and gives your portrait a beautiful tonal depth. The final stage of your painting process includes working with a full color palette while applying glazes and scumbles, as required. This is an advanced course suitable for anyone with an interest in classical painting techniques and intermediate painting skills. Wa1122

gage Curriculum & Foundation programs aBoUT GaGe: Gage Curriculum

Drawing, painting and sculpting from observation form the cornerstones of Gage classes, which are open to artists of all ages and skill levels. Summer is the perfect time to try out new techniques or mediums in our shorter five-week sessions. With two sessions to choose from, you have many options to explore art making. For students seeking continuing education, Gage offers 10-week classes throughout the academic year, as well as weekend and weeklong workshops, lecture series and open and reserved studio sessions. key to Skill levelS Beneath each class listing is a skill level. Use the below guide to determine your current level. Beginning: You have limited or no experience with the drawing, painting or sculpting practice and media. intermediate: You understand the principles of rendering light, shade and value and can draw any object, including the figure, with reasonable proficiency; paint with an understanding of media application and use of color to describe form and space; sculpt with an understanding of structure, form and rhythm as well as basic techniques and tools. advanced: You exhibit a technical mastery of drawing, painting or sculpting, and are beginning to focus on the “why” in addition to the “how.” gage FoUNdatioN programS All of the classes and workshops at Gage are open enrollment, meaning you can choose for yourself what to take based on your own interests and considerations. By the end of summer, you may find yourself asking, “what class should I take next?” The Foundation Drawing and Painting programs were developed to answer this quandary. These programs are designed with the structure of academic training in mind: building skills through an accumulating series of classes that offer both a breadth and depth of study. We believe a “foundation” in art is critical to a student’s success in achieving a solid understanding of core concepts for their own studio practice.

adUlT PRoGRams: Gage ateliers

unning from September through June each year, Gage Ateliers offer an intensive studio program for the serious artist-in-training. The ateliers (French for artist’s studio) are based on the traditional teaching model of the 19th-century European academies where dedicated art students apprenticed with a master artist. At Gage, all atelier students are given an individual studio space to complete projects independently under the guidance of their chosen instructor. Working together in group studios, atelier students enjoy the benefit of creative influence and dialogue among their peers within a focused environment. Enrollment in the atelier programs is yearly, with nine months of dedicated instruction. For the 2011-2012 school year, the ateliers run September 12, 2011 through June 22, 2012. Aristides’ and Kang-O’Higgins’ students make a 30-hour-per-week studio commitment, including working half of every day from the figure model. Students of Faigin work independently for a minimum of 15 hours in the studio each week, in addition to attending two weekly teaching sessions. Atelier students receive a 10% discount on all concurrent classes and workshops: as well as free access to all Drop-In Figure Studios and any Gage Evening Lecture Series on art techniques and art history. To learn more or to receive application materials, please visit www.GageAcademy.org or call 206.343.4243. 2011-2012 Gage atelier applications are due on Tuesday, may 31, 2011. atelier scholarship applications are due friday, July 15, 2011.

Still liFe paiNtiNg atelier Gary Faigin

Based on the 19th-century model for training painters, this four-year diploma program provides time-tested methods for solving pictorial problems. Aristides teaches in stages; serious beginning students focus on drawing; more advanced students move into monochromatic and then fully chromatic painting. Fourth-year students work on individual projects with guest mentors. You work from casts, the model and master copies in a series of progressively complex projects. Intended for long-term students, the Classical Atelier offers you the necessary vocabulary to create well-designed and well-executed drawings and paintings.

Intended for long-term students, the Drawing & Painting Atelier offers the opportunity to work on increasingly complex independent projects under the close guidance of your instructor. You work with line and tone, light and shadow, color theory and mixing, proportion and anatomy, as well as different approaches to life drawing and painting. Learn to convey the essential nature of your subjects through finding the balance between technical accuracy and expressive gesture. Short slide and technical demonstration lectures help you add to your skills and place your work into a wider historical and contemporary dialogue.

The Still-Life Painting Atelier offers painting students interested in focusing their studio practice on the study of still-life arrangements over the course of a year. The intimate studio setting enables you to devote as much time as you wish to creating paintings, without the limitations of model time or weather conditions. Because everyone shares the same focus, optimal conditions for creative interchange and dialogue develop. You work toward success using the still life as a tool for the development of your own artistic voice, creating original, lively pictures that express your ideas and feelings, and focus on technique, rendering and composition.
