Steven Polson’s portrait workshop
Unfortunately, we didn’t get a chance to take pictures during Steven Polson’s intensive 2-day workshop but the paintings looked wonderful! Time flies…and the workshop came and went. Students were able to work on two portrait paintings, practicing their starts and learning about value organization, while working from general to specific.
Here’s Steven lecturing to a few students:
Thanks for a great workshop and we’ll let you know when he returns to Janus for another workshop some time later in 2010.
Join us for a Lecture: Finding the Horizon
Head over to Janus Collaborative for a lecture led by painter, Treacy Ziegler, on Thursday, May 20th from 6pm-8pm.
Finding the Horizon
A talk focusing upon elevating visual perception to a truth whereby damaged vision does not exist, the ontological aspect of space and how this understanding led the artist to exhibit her paintings within maximum security prisons.
