Jacqueline Kamin: Floral Workshop

$650 Members/$685 Non-members
Deposits now being taken

Demo on Wednesday, June 12, included in tuition**

Students will explore the basics of setting up a poetic still life, with an emphasis on the fleeting beauty of flowers. This will encourage a bold, direct application of paint to capture essential beauty. We will discuss the importance of finding an abstract, visual idea in the set up that is all- important for conveying this beauty to the viewer. Students will experiment with the lush quality of oil paint to find the inherent beauty of thick, opaque lights contrasting with thin, transparent darks. This exploration will help students find their own unique voice.

Flowers will be provided, but students are encouraged to bring any still life objects or fruit they would like to paint as well.

**Please note: Jacqueline will be doing a Demo on the Floral Still Life, Wednesday, June 12, 6-8 pm. The demo is included in workshop tuition. To register for the demo ONLY, please click here.

Intrigued by the idea of painting abstractly? This four session class will give you a taste of painting in an abstract manner . We will be working with black and white water based enamel on watercolor paper. This experience has been called “freeing” and “a lot of fun “ by so many students. Experience what it feels like to paint this way . Lots of individualized instruction and discussion . The works you produce here can be the beginnings of new ideas and directions.
About Ellen Hallie Schiff

Artist’s Statement
An essential truth seems to come alive when I use my body to create my paintings- something visceral and muscular; a directness that feels so “right”. The authentic mark is what I am after; the true, non-gimmicky, not contrived mark; the mark that is made when “I am the painting I am painting”. Playing with the paint, working sometimes at the speed of light, other times slowly and deliberately; all coming together in a flurry of physical activity. The result is an authentic moment in time.

Ellen is Vice President of The Art Guild of Port Washington and on the Art Advisory Council of the Port Washington Library. Her work has been exhibited in galleries in Philadelphia and New York. Her friend and mentor is Stan Brodsky.
