BECOME A MONITOR! https://www.gageacademy.org/opportunities/

In this workshop we'll be focusing on the elements and stages needed to compose a painting from start to finish. We'll start with gathering reference, then look at design/composition guidelines, create thumbnails, and finally make color studies, all while keeping the overall narrative in mind. The workshop will include demos, lectures, as well as individual student critiques. Students will have the opportunity to work both with traditional media, and digital programs. Students will be required to work with oil paints, or digitally, some experience with one or the other is required. Please bring to class some initial concepts or ideas that you'd like to develop into a painting composition, and additional reference/print outs to aid in this narrative are welcome. This workshop will be held in the Gage Georgetown Location.
