painting & drawing
Make, reflect, consider, engage—these are all critical elements
of the painting and drawing workshops at Anderson Ranch. We
provide a truly inspiring environment in the bright, lofty, naturally-
lit Wyly Painting & Drawing Building where students can explore
and expand their practice. Anderson Ranch fosters an extraordinary
collective of painters, one that evokes new perspectives, new skills,
and a new community of friends and fellow artists.
The painting and drawing team has selected an excellent scope
of summer 2018 workshops, blending fresh content, innovative
concepts, and critical engagement for artists of all levels. Painting
and drawing guest faculty are exceptional artists and educators who
aim to build upon your technical knowledge and provide inspiration
for developing a studio practice.
Our facilities are open with round-the-clock studio access. Essential
support materials are always available, including large individual
worktables, wall space, easels, rolling palettes, odorless solvents, a
wide range of hand and power tools, computer access with Adobe
software, wi-fi, printing, scanning and projection capabilities. Spend
a week here—or several—and engage in workshops that blend
focused, hands-on art making with critical feedback that will fuel
your inspiration and practice throughout the year.
