Advanced Painting Workshop

Studio Incamminati Instructors and Nelson Shanks

January 28 - February 1, 2008

Tuition - $650

In response to the great demand from our growing alumni, Studio Incamminati is offering this winter workshop to focus on the needs of the artist who wishes to continue a learning dialogue with Studio Incamminati outside of its Professional Program. This advanced workshop is for artists who have attended a Studio Incamminati Intensive workshop and would like the opportunity to push their skills further.  The workshop will also provide a curriculum for those artists who have attended one or more Studio Incamminati Advanced workshops, giving them the opportunity to work closely with our instructors to address their individual needs.

The Advanced Painting Workshop is organized and taught by Studio Incamminati Instructors.  This workshop will take poses from the short gestures to lengthier model poses that will be adjusted to meet the goals of the students. Daily instruction, and individual critiques will be given, augmented by frequent demonstrations of introduced concepts and principles. Also as part of this workshop, an evening session on January 30th from 6-9 p.m. is scheduled for Nelson Shanks to conduct a painting demonstration.

Still Life Painting Workshop

Instructor - Robin Frey

January 28 - February 1, 2008

Tuition - $550

"Still life is the key that unlocks the secrets to great painting.  When painted with extraordinary perception and ability, objects have the potential to allegorically represent the full range of the human condition." - Nelson Shanks

This one week still-life workshop will emphasize finding the rhythm in painting and learning when to make the shifts between balancing composition, drawing and color within a painting.

The workshop will commence from setting up a still-life and working out a composition with thumbnail sketches the first day, then developing a color study, and then an open grisaille through day two. Days three and four would be designated for the actual painting, working out the drawing issues, color development, keeping paint layers thin and even, and finding the areas where there would be more build-up of impasto and texture. Day five would involve a refining process:  removing what is not needed, and adding finishing details.
