Step outside the studio and paint directly from the source. Working directly from the subject adds an urgency and liveliness that cannot be captured when painting from a photo. Through a combination of plein air and still-life practice, we will learn to break down visual information, even as the subject or lighting conditions change. We will work together to develop a body of studies over the coming weeks. Ultimately, you will develop the skillset you need to paint whenever and however you like.
This program is designed for all levels.
Students are required to bring materials. A material list will be sent in your confirmation email.
Abigail Williams is a self-taught artist whose work spans both 2D and 3D media—from acrylic, watercolor, and oil, to enamel, printmaking, and woodcarving. Since 2016, Abigail has displayed throughout the New England area in venues from public events and galleries to private collections. She has instructed others in the visual arts since 2015, and as an instructor puts emphasis on accuracy and speed. It is her goal to help students develop a consistent practice that they can expand on outside of class.
In a range of work from life drawings and plein air painting to woven baskets, wood carvings, and enameling, Abigail Williams explores the balance between conceptual understanding and creative storytelling: tracing the boundaries of accuracy and efficiency, detail and implication, function and tradition. Her most recognizable works are her nude gesture drawings in graphite and charcoal.
