CONCEPT CONCEPT Embark on an in-depth exploration CONCEPT
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES MEDIA & TECHNIQUES
This project-based, abstract
painting workshop provides students with
specific prompts that generate a distinctly
personal visual language. Exercises encourage
personal research and mining for inspiration.
Students engage in technical exploration,
perception, concept development, intuition,
invention, representation and communication.
Different ways of working with paint are
explored as well as integrating alternative
painting materials. Students expand on
preconceptions about painting. Curiosity
and permissive exploration are encouraged,
allowing students to take their abstract painting
to unexpected new territory.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES
Students make
abstract paintings in the medium of their
choice on canvas and experiment with the
incorporation of other material, such as fabric,
yarn and sand.
ACTIVITIES
One painting is created per
day, each inspired by a daily prompt. Students
also engage in research and sketching. There
are critiques, both one-on-one and in a group
setting, reviews of sketches/source materials for
upcoming paintings and studio time.
FACULTY Yevgeniya Baras received her MFA
from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
She has exhibited her work in several New York
City galleries and internationally. Yevgeniya is
represented by Nicelle Beauchene Gallery in
New York and shows with the Landing Gallery in
Los Angeles. She currently teaches at the Rhode
Island School of Design and Sarah Lawrence
College.
of egg tempera painting; a beautiful, traditional,
water-based medium. Tempera painting caters
to dense layers and ultra-fine description as
seen in Indian miniature paintings, illuminated
manuscripts and in contemporary narrative
paintings. Make vivid colors from raw pigment
and traditional chalk gesso painting surfaces.
This workshop offers something for novices
and experts alike. Students are encouraged to
make many paintings with all content welcome.
Gouache, casein and watercolor paint making
are explored as time allows.
Students work
with egg tempera and traditional gesso
grounds and learn how to make paints. Other
water-based painting is introduced as time
allows. *Pigments provided.
ACTIVITIES
Students switch between quick
and longer-term projects throughout the day.
There are varying media: gesso grounds require
intermittent attention all day, while tempera
paintings can be made on-site in an hour or
worked on for hundreds of hours. Participants
work on multiple paintings concurrently.
FACULTY Christopher Ulivo is the founder of
Tiger Strikes Asteroid LA, an artist-run gallery.
Working as an artist, curator and writer, he
shows extensively in the United States and in
Europe. The spirit in Christopher’s painting is
tempered by sentimentality, ignorance and
humor that acknowledge the gulf between
history, imagination and reality.

Color delivers an enormous
amount of information to the viewer—it stirs
up memories, speaks of joy, mystery or fear,
conjures historical references and suggests
quiet or cacophony. In this workshop, students
refine and energize color relationships, and
explore how manipulating the temperature,
applied texture and relative amounts of color
dramatically increases clarity and surprise in
a painting. Working from direct observation,
memory and invention, participants create a
series of small paintings combining abstraction
and representational imagery.
Using gouache
and acrylic on claybord panels, students create
a painting frieze/series informed by our initial
color experiments. Students follow a structured
project from the instructor or create their own
subjects. Glazing, scumbling, sanding and other
painting techniques are demonstrated.
ACTIVITIES
Students go outside to make
color studies from nature. Each day includes
one-on-one discussions, demonstrations-on-
demand, looking at artists from history and
contemporary painting who use color and light
in exciting, poignant and unusual ways, and
encouraging expression to emerge in work.
FACULTY

exhibited artist and published art writer. She
