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.

Sarah Lamb’s still life workshop
Sarah Lamb’s workshop was phenomenal. It’s amazing how much one can learn in just three days! Sarah guided our workshop students through an intense three-day still life painting workshop covering concepts such as the color poster, block-in, composition and color mixing with such clarity. Not only were the structured demos packed with generous information, but the critiques were invaluable.
Despite the snowstorm last Wednesday, the third and final day of the workshop, Sarah trekked through the slush along with a handful of students to finish their paintings. Here are some images from the workshop.

Due to the intensity of the workshop, combined with the snowstorm, we weren’t able to take shots of many other beautiful paintings. Join us next time (as Sarah Lamb will be back at Janus sooner than you think) and stay tuned for an announcement for another stint this summer! Thanks for a great workshop, everyone.
