INTERIORS: MAKING SPACE, Part One, 2020

One essential aspect of painting is conjuring the illusion of space on a flat canvas. In this two-part, eight-week intensive, we will work on creating an interior space in oils. In Part One, participants will learn how to develop a convincing interior while working from observation, focusing on the establishment of architecture through geometry and large tonal relationships. Part Two will be more exploratory and intuitive, experimenting with ways of inhabiting and “dreaming into” the imagined three-dimensional space.

Part One consists of clear demonstrations by Jordan, establishing step-by-step structure of an interior space. In Part Two, Jordan explores further possibilities for experimenting with painterly space: what can we place in that space? How directly can space be made? How much can we disrupt it and still have it hold, still work?
