The Alluring Portrait
Jazz-minh Moore
III
CONCEPT : Hone your skills in color mixing , composition , surface texture and value / contrast to create a truly alluring visual rendering in this exciting portraiture workshop . Working from a live model as well as sketches and photographs , students learn the ways in which gesture , expression and mood can help give life to the subjects in their images through drawing and painting in acrylic . Come away from this course with a better understanding of portraiture and all of its possibilities .
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES : Students begin by working in graphite and charcoal on paper to approach drawing from the figure , and then move on to painting in acrylics on paper , canvas or wood panel .
ACTIVITIES : We engage in gestural exercises designed to capture a person ’ s personality , as well as technical rendering practices . The workshop offers daily individual feedback , group critiques , slide lectures and ample studio time working from the model as well as from sketches and photographs .
FACULTY : Jazz-minh Moore received her M . F . A . from California State University , Long Beach . She has had solo shows at several venues , including Galerie Rothemel in Germany , Lyons Wier Gallery in New York , GRASP in San Francisco and Blackfish Gallery in Portland , Ore .

Painting with Watercolor : the market
Jan Heaton
CONCEPT : Capture not only what you see , but also how you react , as you interpret forms in fluid watercolor . In this exciting course , subject matter is inspired by produce discovered at farmers ’ markets , with an emphasis on the healthy and locally sourced seasonal produce and herbs at Anderson Ranch . Learn to simplify and abstract subject matter , recording the essence of a fruit or vegetable using a broad spectrum of various techniques with minimal marks . Develop various approaches to the invention of personal color choices and imagery to stretch your preconceived notions of these elements and their initial meaning .
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES : We explore drawing and watercolor with Winsor & Newton pigments on 300 lb . Fabriano watercolor paper . Each student works on paintings of varied sizes that utilize techniques such as wet-on-wet , dry brush , bamboo pen drawing , debossing , color removal , monoprints and more . We also focus on various experimental techniques and tools .
ACTIVITIES : Basic techniques are integrated daily , including drawing , painting , color theory , color mixing , design and composition . Demonstrations , one-on-one instruction , and sharing what you have written and painted provides the foundation for your exploration .
FACULTY : Jan Heaton is a professional watercolor artist . Her paintings celebrate nature , and then abstractly reach beyond the obvious . Art dealers and galleries in Austin , Boston , San Antonio , Atlanta , Santa Barbara , San Francisco and London represent her work . Jan paints in Austin and Laguna Beach .

Photographic Collage : a painterly approach
Kate Leonard
O
CONCEPT : Join us for an engaging exploration of the artistic synthesis between two distinct art forms : photography and painting . Discover transfer techniques that integrate photographic images and text directly onto painted surfaces , resulting in intriguingly complex works . Using traditional collage and photomontage , master new methods that allow for opaque and translucent layers . Reductive methods such as sanding and scraping reveal the history of earlier photographic layers and suggest an archaeological approach to image development . The workshop emphasizes experimentation and exploratory approaches . Participants produce a portfolio of physical examples of all techniques that act as a tangible reference , or technical toolbox , for future application .
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES : Students learn photographic and digital techniques to produce custom translucent collage layers . These layers are then incorporated into traditional acrylic paintings on gessoed panels and watercolor board . Utilize traditional collage with photographic material ( text and image ). Explore digital manipulation of imagery including direct printing onto Japanese papers and custom built acrylic skins . Reductive approaches in sanding and scraping reveal richly layered surfaces .
ACTIVITIES : We start each morning with a technical demonstration illustrated with visual examples from contemporary art . A range of integrated photographic painting approaches on paper and gessoed panels are introduced . The workshop begins with traditional direct collage approaches . Our investigations transition to digital approaches and students scan their paintings to combine with manipulated digital imagery .
FACULTY : Kate Leonard is a professor of art at Colorado College , where she directs the Graphics Research Lab , an innovative program in printmaking . Her work is exhibited nationally and internationally .
