In this 3-week class, participants will focus on the relationships between pictorial space and invention and discover techniques for applying this in their own work. Creating the illusion of space has been an uncompromising subject in the evolution of painting’s history. In this workshop we will explore strategies for creating depth in your paintings, as well as discuss ways in which contemporary and past artists have playfully employed methods of observation, memory and synthesis.
