BASICS OF DRAWING The most elemental part of drawing is line – without line, contours and edges do not exist. We will start with the study of the line as countour, and progressively incorporate value and perspective to create form and space within simple compositions.

DRAWING THE PORTRAIT ON TONED PAPER Tue 6:30pm-9:30pm 6/26-7/24

Drawing is a fundamental skill that underpins all classical art. In Drawing the Portrait on Toned Paper, we will use both black and white charcoal to develop your understanding of proportions, value structure, and learn about rendering form. This workshop, led by NYC-based artist-instructor Dominique Medici, will teach students how to break down the process of drawing into clear and consecutive steps.

Through curated still-lifes, students learn to translate what they see into two-dimensional images through practice, lectures, inclass demonstrations, and personalized critique. This course is recommended for students with zero or limited prior drawing experience, or those who wish to further develop their fundamental drawing vocabulary.

INTRO TO PORTRAIT DRAWING

Working from portrait models and self-portraits, study the essential techniques and concepts of proportion, line, value, volume, structure, and composition.

ABSTRACT MARK MAKING

Artwork by Jeffrey Simmons

painting

While abstract painters are not alone in using unusual techniques to inspire new imagery, the history of abstract painting is full of artists who moved beyond the traditional brush-on-canvas methods.

Studying under the guidance of renowned artist Jeffrey Simmons, this class examines different non-traditional approaches to mark making — such as staining, stenciling, and dragging paint — while finding inspiration from the history of abstraction.

All levels $255

BASICS OF OIL PAINTING

Develop a foundational knowledge of oil painting material and technique through hands-on exercises. Combine your new knowledge with drawing skills to understand the concepts of contour, value, shape, volume, form and perspective for a more comprehensive experience. Principles of paint handling and proper use of material, will go hand-in-hand with building skills to render still-life objects progressively from simple to more complex.

Beginner $255

Dominique Medici

Tue 1:30pm-4:30pm 6/26-7/24 The most efficient way to develop your observation and intuition simultaneously is to practice Alla Prima painting.

The ability to work quickly, and with precision, is key in your development as a painter. The time restraint forces you to forego detail, see the big picture, and focus on gesture and large masses, these elements hold the power and personality within a portrait. In this class, we will work with a systematic and disciplined technique that is uniquely designed to achieve this aim.

FIGURE STRUCTURE DRAWING

Mon-Fri 9:30am-4:30pm 7/30 - 8/3

Advance your understanding of the human figure’s construction by geometrically breaking down figures as they are posed in space and drawn from observation. This workshop is designed to bridge the gap between standard life drawing practices and anatomical study. Working from a live model, you will systematically draw the figure to fit landmarks within a set proportion system. Emphasis will be given to gesture, balance, and proportion to aid in the illusion of credibility.

Students will leave this class with a better understanding of the figure’s key landmarks, form sense, construction, and gain greater ability to render a figure from life and memory.s.

PORTRAIT PAINTING IN ZORN PALETTE Mon-Fri 9:30am-4:30pm 8/27-8/31

Artists will employ a limited palette inspired by Swedish painter Anders Zorn to create a portrait painting from the live model. Using titanium white, yellow ochre, vermillion, and ivory black pigments, participants will discover how to achieve an expansive range of colors by mixing modulations of hue, value, and chroma. By limiting the pigments, one can explore color space in a controlled manner, gain insight into color relationships, and develop strategies for translating the seemingly elusive colors we perceive in human flesh. Byrnes will guide artists with daily demonstrations and in-depth personal critiques. Cranial anatomy, materials, paint handling, and the physics of light will also be discussed. Some previous experience with oils is recommended.

BAS-RELIEF SCULPTING

Sat-Sun 9:30am-4:30pm 6/9-6/10

Develop drawing skills beyond two dimensions by working compositions in clay. This uncommon art form, rarely practiced nowadays, has been historically used in art, architecture, and even coin and medal minting.

Students will learn to capture the likeness of a portrait through compositions that are simple to mold in clay into finished works, and learn the skills necessary to create subtle details in relief. Instruction will include demonstrations, critiques, and individual feedback throughout the class.

PORTRAITS IN WATERCOLOR

Sat-Sun 9:30am-4:30pm 7/14-7/15

Experimenting with traditional watercolor techniques including various washes, glazes, and scumbles, we'll stretch the boundaries and experiment with looser approaches and different color palettes for flesh tones. Studying from a live model, we will focus on the head, facial structures, and proportion, and emphasize the economy of line. We will capture the essentials of the human face using simple contours, but without shading or value, allowing the watercolor to build the volume and structure of the head and face and render the values.

OBSERVING ABSTRACTLY Fri-Sun 9:30am-4:30pm 7/27-7/29

The world we see is made up of a complex network of interlocking abstract shapes, and in this workshop we will examine the natural world and interpret the colors, shapes, and edges that surround us. Through still life studies, you will explore various techniques and tools to help you see the abstraction that is in front of you and translate it into dynamic observational drawings and paintings.

WHY WATERCOLOR?

Sat-Sun 9:30am-4:30pm 9/15-9/16

What is it that keeps artists engaged with this supposedly difficult medium?

How is it like all others, and how is it different? Under the guidance of expert watercolorist Suze Woolf, we will start with studio exercises to develop our powers of observation and facility with the medium.

SUMMER OF LOVE

“

My portraits evolve slowly, over a series of sittings. My hope is that the model will forget my presence, and drift ever deeper into her thoughts. Though I pay acute attention to the body's expression of those thoughts, I am aware that she is offering me only glimpses into her private world. As a teacher, my goal is to help my students explore pastel and the emotional and physical complexity of the human presence, and weave the elements into a unified image.

"

“

As an educator, I strive to empower fellow artists to achieve excellence in their craft by fostering a set of rational tools— both optical and conceptual—that can help support, guide, and illuminate the emotional experience of drawing and painting from life.

"

Eric Elliott

After having relocated to Colorado as Assistant Professor of Painting at Colorado Mesa University, Eric is back to teach at Gage! I’ve known Eric for years -- since the days of his Behnke Foundation's Neddy Artist Fellowship award.

For those who know his art, Eric’s “Observing Abstractly” workshop speaks volumes of his process and inspiration.

“

Painting and drawing is just communication through line, shape, edge, and color. First you have to learn how to see it and then you have to learn how to use it. And, once you learn the basics of the language, communication becomes easier, but that doesn't mean that you're going to be Hemingway. That takes lots of practice, and even then a little luck helps.

"
