A continuation of the June 2025 workshop at FAWC, these sessions will continue to explore how great landscape paintings inspire memory and feeling. They reveal something of the painter’s experience, but also provide opportunities for a viewer to bring memory and emotion into the picture. Direct, spontaneous picture-making (painting, drawing, photography) allows a painter to capture something ephemeral and unexpected, and slower work in the studio provides space for considered composition. Working within landscapes of your experience and memory (including interiors and still life), we’ll build a series of small, fast paintings and perhaps several larger works. In addition to making work together, we’ll look at painting together–both from the class and from the history of art–and discuss strategies for building evocative, exciting images.
