Urban Field Painting Studio

Join Riley Doyle, Director of the (new!) Contemporary Landscape Atelier, in this unique and intimate summer painting intensive!

Participants will work on-site, alongside the instructor, 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. Moving fluidly between field and studio will be emphasized throughout the course.

Sessions will include demonstrations, discussions around the topics of field painting and landscape painting, 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.

A group exhibition of works created in this workshop will be organized for an upcoming Art Attack opening in the Fall/Winter 2025!
