This two day workshop will provide practical insight and experience for the painter in color and value, color and palette choices for capturing light and temperature, color in landscape painting, color in portraits, Fauvist and expressive color. Students will produce a number of exercise paintings. The workshop will be introduced with an overview of color usage in painting and followed by group critiques on Zoom. Three Zoom meetings will take place, one the evening before, and one at the end of each of the two days. Questions and discussions are highly encouraged and a goal is developing a personal approach to color.

Gage Academy of Art acknowledges the Coast Salish Peoples as the original inhabitants of this area and connecting waterways. We understand the land that Gage occupies is unceded territory and that today many Indigenous peoples live here and without their stewardship, we would not have access to this space. We honor the Coast Salish Peoples’ sovereignty, rights to self-determination, culture and ways of life. Since time immemorial, Indigenous peoples have called this territory their sacred land. We commit to learning, educating others and repairing the legacy of historically harmful relationships between non-Native and Native peoples in King County. In doing so, we will be honest, and recognize the experiences of Native peoples to include genocide, forced relocation, forced assimilation, and land theft. We also acknowledge Native peoples are survivors, present in today’s world, thriving. We encourage everyone here today to ask themselves: what can I do to support Indigenous communities?

In an effort to be transparent, Gage is contemplating this call to action and re-working how to best support Indigenous communities.
