Diebenkorn Matisse
Ocean Park FULL Saturday March 16th, 2024 from 10AM – 2:30PM Course Description Richard Diebenkorn (1922-1993) was an abstract/minimalist. Taking inspiration from his Ocean Park series and his “10 rules for painting”, we will embark on our own color-field journey. Minimalism requires simplification to the essence of things.

Matisse Interiors in Mixed Media
(4 spaces remaining) Saturday, April13, 2024 from 10:00-2:30 PM COURSE DESCRIPTION Henri Matisse (1869-1954) has long been recognized as one of the greatest painters of the 20th century. Matisse was a descendent of generations of weavers. His interiors often feature a multitude of textile patterns, open windows and bright colors. He famously said he wished his art to be “…something like a good armchair which provides relaxation from physical fatigue.” In this workshop we will put together original compositions and try out some of his techniques to create our own pleasing paintings.

Cezanne Knife Painting
Course Description
Cezanne formed the bridge between impressionism and cubism. He used planes of color and small brushstrokes that build up to form complex fields. Picasso is said to have remarked that Cezanne "is the father of us all". In this workshop we will use flat brushes, palette knives and a methodical approach to explore Cezanne’s techniques for painting landscape.

COURSE DECRIPTION
Painting with a palette knife is a great way to loosen up your practice. In this workshop we will use three different approaches to your choice of subject. All require simplification and spontaneity. Palette knives, like brushes come different sizes and shapes. They can be handled intuitively and with a little practice and good examples can open up new possibilities on their own or in combination with brush work. Please see materials list.
