Portrait and Figure in Watercolor: Curiosity and Awareness
Brian Shure
Tuition $1,415
Code D0103-25
Bring the face and figure to life with the transparency and immediacy of watercolor. This extremely expressive media can also be highly controlled. We work from life as well as photographic sources in this deceivingly direct paint medium. With daily demonstrations and a series of simple and accessible studio exercises, students develop skills controlling resoluble colors, reserving and pulling back highlights and maintaining brilliant and delicate tones that are unique to water-based media. We focus on capturing the essence of the portrait and figure through taking time to look and record what we see.

Master Class: Innovations in Lithography
Brian Shure, Valpuri Remling
Tuition $1,345
Code R0706-25
In this workshop, advanced printmakers explore photographic and hand-drawn imagery with film positives on pre-sensitized photo plates as well as direct mark making on ball-grained aluminum plates. Prior background in lithography or extensive work in other printmaking media is the foundation for exploration of image preparation, plate processing, and printing techniques to develop an understanding of efficient methods for production of consistent lithographic editions. *This workshop does not require that students be proficient in lithography, but they must have significant experience in the field of printmaking. Please feel free to submit portfolio images that aren’t lithographic prints. Applications for enrollment are accepted on a rolling basis.
