Practically Painting with O’Keeffe

Experience an unparalleled adventure in the landscape that inspired Georgia O’Keeffe, As we walk in her footsteps — literally and figuratively- the instructor will explain the philosophy that guided O’Keeffe’s painting and lead you through steps that she used to “fill a space in a beautiful way.” We will focus on the compositional elements of line, color, and shape as we try exercises like those that influenced O’Keeffe. Bring your favorite painting media and study with O’Keeffe’s weekend companion, who went on to make art, earn an MFA degree, and enjoy a long museum career.

All skill levels are welcome, from beginners to accomplished painters; all who want a fresh approach or special “O’Keeffe perspective.” Anna encourages individuality and creativity and we will not be copying O’Keeffe’s art. The goal is to find your own creative center and make your own unique works utilizing O’Keeffe’s approach. We can anticipate a wealth of knowledge, ideas, and capabilities among workshop participants. Together we will foster a positive learning environment where all can explore.
