This workshop will concentrate on the magical qualities of light. Kreutz will teach students how to bring together drawing, edges, design, color and paint quality. Students will develop the ability to look at form with deeper understanding, which involves heightening one’s awareness of how light flows, why shadows fall as they do and how atmosphere envelops the whole. The focus of the workshop will be to lead the student into thinking in a painterly way and to shed the linear approach. During the workshop, students will explore working with the model and still life.
