Urban Field Painting

Join artists Riley Doyle, Director of the Landscape Practicum and Kimberly Trowbridge, Director of the Modern Color Atelier in this unique and intimate summer painting intensive! Participants will work on-site, alongside instructors, at Equinox Studios in Georgetown, Seattle. Responding to the eclectic layers of concrete, metal, foliage, found objects, and sky each artist will create a series of dynamic compositions culled from the environment. Over the course of 12 days, participants will learn strategies for collecting visual data in the form of sketches, collage, and painted studies in the field, as well as how to combine and transform that data into dynamic studio compositions, and move fluidly between the field and the studio. Sessions will include demos, discussions of historical/contemporary artists, and individual and group critiques. Students will have 24-hour access to our shared Studio B at Equinox for the full duration of the workshop.
