Paintings of people are compelling because of the abundance of stories to be told. In Jeannie’s Figurative Design Workshops she aims to act as a mentor and to inspire artists to create original works of art in their own unique style. Jeannie shares her painting application and her spontaneous thoughts and stories that guide her process. You will hear about intuitive design and composition, versatility of pigment/water ratios, intentional and spontaneous marks, use of titanium white as an additional pigment, and the freedom to change your mind. You will be encouraged to work in a series of 2 plus paintings of a like genre. Plus be imaginative about the people in your reference photos by studying their expressions, body language, surroundings and interactions.
Students will gather together as a class each morning for an introduction into designing for a story. Projects will be presented to stimulate thought. Jeannie will give individual mentoring to each student through conversation or pencil to paper while suggesting design adjustments and story ideas. There will be several class demonstrations, spontaneous conversation and independent painting time. Artists are to bring their own references. Drawings started ahead of time are a personal option.
