Creating Atmosphere in Painting
The surface of a painting is like a fossil of the painter’s process. Creating believable form in atmospheric space is one of the most magical ways to translate our perceptual experience.
In this 2+ hour workshop, I will present some conceptual and technical ways to explore this beautiful method of working with paint.
Live on Zoom, Wednesday, February 11, 2026, at 11:00 EST.
"How does one build form in space?"
Creating atmosphere in painting is not a technical “trick.” It is the result of a deep search for form in space and can only be achieved through exploration. I will be sharing some of the applications that I have found helpful though my many years of trial and error.
What we will cover:
Indirect layering
Scraping and sanding
Working wet over dry
Oiling out
“Reading” the space
Finding form in the “ghost image”
Translucent scumbles
Working into a glaze
Finding form with edges
This class will be live online with question and answer via the chat option. You will have access to the HD recording with unlimited viewing.
