Description
Painting Workshopw/Annie ThompsonA five (5) session classNo class on 11/30This five-week course is for beginners who want to explore oil painting, and for more experienced artists who want to improve their artistic skills. Using still-life compositions, students will learn about form, space, design, value, and color through working observationally. In addition, the instructor will introduce a variety of artists who are representative of the lessons provided, and conduct in-process and final critiques for a helpful synopsis of the student’s progress and ideas.
Painting Materials List: 12x16” painting canvas panel or canvas pad (or preferred painting supports) Palette knife (metal preferred) Palette paper pad (or preferred palette) Linseed oil Turponoid or Gamsol Airtight Brush Washer can or small jar with screwable lid Bar soap or bottle of dish soap for cleaning brushes Brushes of preference (I prefer synthetic hair for softer application. A variety in sizes of Filbert and Round brushes would be great. A larger flat brush would also be good for more experienced painters.) Oil paints (Utrecht, Winsor-Newton, and Gamblin are great student-grade brands that are economical) Titanium White Burnt Umber Raw Sienna Yellow Ochre Cadmium Red Medium French Ultramarine Blue Alizarin Crimson Additional Oil Paint Colors for an advanced palette Cerulean Blue Cadmium Yellow Medium Viridian Green Cadmium Orange Medium Dioxazine purple Lemon Yellow
Instructor Bio:Annie Thompson is a professional artist and educator, contributing more than eight years of experience in fine art disciplines, practices, and exhibitions, with experience teaching high school students, undergraduate students, and beyond. She received her MFA from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) in 2024 and her BFA from Flagler College in 2019.
Annie is a representational oil painter dedicated to perceptual painting and self-portraiture, driven by observation, introspection, and a sense of the theatrical. She utilizes traditional painting techniques to depict self-portraits and still-life arrangements in the studio’s interior that relate inanimate objects to the self.
Annie has participated in a number of exhibitions, projects, and research opportunities that continue to refine her expertise in studio practices. These include her work as a freelance artist for private and corporate clients, such as The Pink Stork; participating in group exhibitions and publications including the 2024 MFA I Like Your Work Catalog; helping maintain and preserve art collections, such as PAFA’s permanent collection and the City of Ocala’s public art collection; and her continued studio practice focusing in perceptual painting.
