For many of his works\, the surfacing can take months to complete\, so this workshop will be a peek behind the curtain of the more fast-paced/exciting process of maquette building and problem solving that Brian uses as a map before beginning the longer-term projects. Please note that this class uses Apoxie putty which may not be suitable for younger children. \nThis class is free and open to the public and all materials will be provided. Registration required. Max Capacity 10 Attendees.  \nBrian Smith (b.1994) is a Maine based artist who works in sculpture\, painting\, and drawing. Through meticulous surface treatments\, his work utilizes queer ecological theory to challenge traditional views of nature as separate from human society.

What does warm summer air look like? How does fog land on trees? What color is an April rainstorm? Asking these questions of a painting can open up one’s approach to landscape painting\, making space for invention\, play\, and perception within the acts of direct observation & translation. In this 3-hour workshop\, the class will explore the Ogunquit Museum grounds as a group\, evaluating different sites for their merit as painting subject matter\, and using simple viewfinders to choose individual painting sites. Once situated\, participants will spend roughly 90 minutes painting independently\, with one-on-one guidance from the instructor. The final hour of the class will be spent together in a group “critique” of the new work. \nWhile this class is open to all levels\, participants should have some familiarity with their materials and be comfortable working outside. This class is free and open to the public and all materials will be provided. Registration required. Max Capacity 10 Attendees. \nTessa Greene O’Brien is an American painter exploring themes of place\, folk spirituality\, and human relationships. O’Brien has exhibited nationally and her practice has been supported by numerous grants\, fellowships\, and residencies. She lives and works in South Portland\, Maine. \nClass Full!
