This class will be a focused place to bring an in depth ongoing project, geared toward the experienced, self motivated and self critical painter.
Whether the focus is the development of a specific body of work, a specific project, or simply focusing for months on one large scale or otherwise in-depth painting project, the idea is that you bring the work, the questions, the doubts, the lurches forward, the twists and turns, and we bring collected painting experience, thoughtful and receptive eyes, and supportive and articulate dialogue around the work.
Class size is limited and we will check in with each artist’s ongoing work and investigations, developments, etc, whatever comes up, each week. This class is a good incubator for a challenging idea, a new direction, or simply a discipline and structure and community to draw on to get stuff done.
*each class will include a 45 minute work period during which the instructor will be working on a live camera, not a demo exactly, but a look over the shoulder as the work being discussed progresses. Gage’s work for this is likely to be an investigation of a body of work based on reflections and reflected images, and perhaps on a somewhat larger scale.
Born in 1977 and raised in Northern California, Gage Opdenbrouw is an award winning painter, teacher, and woodworker, who until recent times, traveled frequently both to paint and to teach. He now teaches live online courses in drawing and painting to artists from all over the country and around the world.
When he’s not working, he is most often found in Northern California among some of the tallest and quietest trees on earth, where the illuminated fog sweeps in from the pacific. He shares his home and studio in the redwoods with his love, writer Kelly Gray, and two dogs: Hank, a terrier/beagle who remembers every single place he ever found street chicken, and Nootka, a very vocal and sweet husky pup who looks like the best giant squirrel ever. He plays bass and guitar, very poorly and with great enthusiasm. www.gageopdenbrouw.com
