I have visited Forstall’s twice in the past few years and always enjoyed my time in Birmingham. In the past I’ve given painting lectures and demos, but this time I’m really looking forward to getting into the paint with everyone. It’s going to be a very exciting weekend and I’m eager to share what I’ve learned from my experience as an artist and a Gamblin Artist Rep. I’ll be traveling there from Philadelphia, PA and I’m counting on Birmingham to give me a taste of that southern hospitality that I’ve missed since moving away from Georgia. Thanks to Forstall Art Center for hosting the workshop! Here is a quick overview of what we have in store.

OVERVIEW
Students will spend 2 days creating a food still life painting while exercising strategic color theory, accurate “keying in” of subject and implementing an engaging composition. Advanced students will begin addressing paint language and mediums in greater depth. Oil paint, mediums and solvent will be provided by Gamblin Artist Colors and Painting surfaces will be provided by Ampersand Artist Panels.

GOALS
Students will work with emphasis on the following:
Color Theory

• mixing and controlling a full range of chroma within the painting
• strategic hue organization
• effective value and temperature statements

Composition 

• demo and lecture will discuss, lessons will be implemented in preparatory sketches and color comps

Medium Understanding

• Gamblin mediums will be discussed and available to work with. (Attendees seeking in depth information on mediums should attend the pre-workshop lecture on Thursday evening from 6-8:00pm at the Art Center.

Personalized Paint Language

Here are some of the still lifes that came down.

Detail of "Da Vincis Under a Blue Moon"

In the Studio - Lost, oil on panel, 4x4 feet 2011

This is a piece that I thought was finished. I hung it in the main room of our home, lived with it and then one beautiful August day a friend and past professor of mine came to town. Jeff Markowsky was in town from Savannah, GA where he teaches at SCAD. He was taking a workshop at Studio Incaminatti (and exploring the city. I was quite impressed with his findings, a frozen yogurt shop that we didn’t even know about near our house for example. This guy is brilliant!) Jeff came by the house to see Aa and myself and he had very kind things to say about this piece. He said it needed “…something.” A final touch, a spark. I don’t think this is doing his critique justice, but what he said got the point across… far better than I am right now. Anyways, I hit it the next day with, well, something, and I am very pleased with the result. Jeff, you were right! Thanks for kicking me in the pants, yet again.

In Progress

I’M TIRED! It’s been a long weekend. Last week I posted on facebook and twitter etc to see what people wanted to see in a new painting. Still life? Power painting? Yeah. It was power painting. I was so excited to get feedback from so many people. So, here it is. The above image is what I did over the three-day weekend. It’s not meant to be anyone in particular. The idea is about the power within us. This is not finished so I’m still excited to see what’s to come!

Thrust, Charcoal on Paper, 22x30 inches, 2011

I’ve been working on some new drawings for the power series. Some larger ones are in the works. Yesterday’s drawing was about 42 x 60 inches. I bought a roll of paper and walked it about 10 blocks from the art store to a large studio space I’m using. It was only 92 degrees outside…. took a stroll down the shady side of the street. Felt a little bit like pop-eye. Anyways, I had a great time drawing. Lots of charcoal both on the page and in my nose… and throat. I’ll be using a mask next time. You know, safety and all. I’ll be posting the larger drawings as they are completed. Stay tuned.
