PAINTING THE LIVE FIGURETana Quincy Arcega6 sessions >> Saturdays, January 27–March 310am–1pm, Fort Mason Campus, Suite 26, $295Prerequisite: Previous painting experience is recommended.
This course will focus on the human body, and how to capture and enhance dynamic forms while channeling your own concepts into water and oil-based paintings. We will create simple to more elaborate scenes with the live model, and you will be encouraged to work in both representational and abstract modes. Grounding our own paintings, we will spend time looking at historical and contemporary artists who work with figurative subject matter to serve as inspiration. Class-time will be split between lecture, demonstration, and plenty of studio time so that you walk away with two complete paintings.
____Tana Quincy Arcega’s work re-examines the use of utilitarian materials from the vantage point of a painter. Her unconventional approach is as much about acquiring new forms of media and reinventing process as it is about composition and mark-making. Her paintings explore the dialogue between substrate and surface. Tana has a BFA in painting and sculpture from the University of Nebraska and an MFA in figurative painting from the New York Academy of Art. She has had several solo exhibitions at midwest venues including the Foundry Art Center and the Bemis Center for Contemporary Art. She has shown locally at CounterPulse, Root Division, and Adobe Books Backroom Gallery amongst others. Her mouth paintings were featured in Her Living magazine. Tana has worked professionally as a children’s book illustrator, muralist, and educator.tanaquincyarcega.com
