David Gordon OIL Painting Workshop at BAA March 25

David Gordon: Artist Statement

 

A friend recently asked what the job description of an artist is. I responded, “An artist’s job is to inspire people to see the world in a fresh way, to loosen the grips of habitual perception and to bring awareness to the possibility of a deeper, richer more expansive reality.” How can this be achieved? By loosening control of the habitual, rational mind while creating and by allowing bigger energies and deeper psychologies to emerge.

The intention of my work is to bring focus to that part of our experience that is fresh and vivid, and to celebrate the creative process which connects us to that part of our being that is fluid, vivacious, effervescent and unpredictable.This is a long form text area designed for your content that you can fill up with as many words as your heart desires.

DAVID GORDON WORKSHOP!

(BY Micki Schulz)

“Value Key Landscape Painting” 1 day Workshop by David Gordon, March 25, 8:30am-4:00pm, oil painting.

     Ever wonder how to paint the dust in Kern County? Curious how to paint haze versus a clear horizon? Hone your values to get more from them in this one-day workshop that explores how to paint limited value ranges. The class will create a simple nine range value scale to paint three small pieces using high key, mid-key, and low-key values. Color will be introduced into each value range to create a more sophisticated and accurate landscape. The one-day workshop will focus on exercises in this fast-paced day of value explorations that will improve your work.

    Supplies: 2-3 11x14 canvas panels. Preferably a step above the cheaper canvas boards.

Thin masking tape to tape off canvas. Oil paint set up. Stand up easel. Tabletop easels will be provided if that is preferable. 

    There is still time to sign up for the workshop. Cost is $65 for members and $75 for non-members.

 More information on this workshop can be obtained by contacting the Bakersfield Art center at (661) 869-2320.
