COMPREHENSIVE

THIS IS JERRY’S MOST INTERACTIVE ONLINE COURSE!

Over 9 consecutive Wednesdays Jerry discusses and demonstrates important aspects of composition. Students have homework assignments to help guide and develop their learning. Every other session will be devoted to reviewing these assignments and answering any questions you have. This structure gives participants plenty of time to study and practice the concepts and ask follow-up questions. The last session will be an integration of all the topics. Students will have the opportunity to ‘put it all into action’.

All live sessions are recorded, and students can re-watch
for up to 30 days after the last day of the course.

Meaningful Abstraction

with Rebecca Crowell

Rebecca Crowell and Jerry McLaughlin team up in San Miguel de Allende for this intensive 5-day workshop exploring visual vocabulary, personal voice, and abstraction.

A major challenge for an abstract painter is finding a unique visual voice, one that is personal and meaningful. In this workshop, through focused exercises and the development of a short series, you will explore the visual vocabulary that you are most drawn to. We will emphasize the importance of contrast in both the visual elements and the ideas of your work.
