This workshop sends you into the current Andy Warhol Exhibition at the AGO to experience the retrospective for yourself. (on your own time)
The first of 3 Zoom workshop sessions will include a thought- provoking Warhol exhibition slideshow, interpretive lecture and vital dialogue discussing ideas put forward by the artist in the 1970s and their relevance to the fabric of our contemporary social culture.
Studio exercises will incorporate working with repetition, fresh colour, photography and paint, mylar and modern mixed media with a focus on developing work that has depth and a continuity with your unique practice. The last class includes both studio time and a group critique.

During this two day-workshop we will cover the basics of drawing, form and color mixing. We will use oil paint or acrylic and work on one single piece until it translates the reality of our reference. The skills that each student will acquire are universal skills, and they will be useful for their own personal work regardless of the subject matter. Each day will start with the demonstration of a theory, and then each student will work on their own still life set-up (or photo if preferred) and receive personalized individual feedback. The main goal of the course is to gain a solid understanding of “how we see”, and how to translate what we see onto the canvas to render a high quality picture.
