Emily Ezell Painting Workshop

Participants will produce one 18 x 24 painting and at least 2 smaller studies based in collage and mixed media during the course of this 2-day workshop. 

This workshop aims to guide students towards creating a painting that combines classical figures from the Western canon into a 21st century space.

Emily will teach techniques such as the indirect method: classical techniques involving grisaille, ebauche, glazing, scumbling, couches, etc.

Formal discussion of surface activation, paint application, figure-ground relationship, and creating space with color and edges will also be prioritized. 

Themes such as religion, identity, regionalism, appropriation, and narrative will be discussed.
