A hands on zoom seminar, exploring guided questions in paint, including:

• The voice of the surface

• Observation as visual introspection

• The choreograph of navigation

• The craft of visual memory

• Discomfort at difficult borders

• Noticing when a butterfly lands on your finger

Many of us settle into a carefully scripted and protected practice that keeps us safe within the boundaries of security. And when we do face change it’s often through someone else’s carefully scripted program related to how they paint. But “they” is not you.

Really, there is no way to paint other than your way, but it’s much easier to follow the path of another than to deal with the unknown. And then there is the question of who are you?

Through a sequence of prompts and exercises, these 3 aggressive days will ask you to self- interrogate through the lenses of analytical and improvisational mind, and it will not be for the meek; but you will emerge with a renewed, expanded and confident sense of strength that you will own.

For the three days, we’ll be using acrylic paint.

Thursday night, opening slide talk, 6:30pm EST, 90 minutes with q&a at the end:

“The Structure of the Visual Moment,” a look into visual interiority, the language of form

and our process of decision making to get there. 

This talk will be a foundational beginning for the following three days

Friday, 10am - 2:30pm

Saturday, 10am - 2pm

Sunday, 10am - 2pm

all 3 days are keyed to Eastern Standard Time

It will not be unusual if we run a little over on some of the days so please allow for that if necessary. 

Additionally, this class will offer a 30-minute individual consultation to be scheduled with Stuart following the class at your convenience. 

Cost for this workshop is $700
