WEEKEND WORKSHOP: THE PREMIER COUP
LOCATION: COMPASS ATELIER 2 (12276 Wilkins Ave)
Through painting sessions, demos, and critiques, Duane Keiser will lead a challenging 2-day workshop on premier coup painting. Premier coup, or "first strike," is a painting done with the intent of finishing it in one sitting. Like Jazz, premier coup can be wonderfully improvisational while also requiring a high degree of precision and control. Duane will share his various strategies, techniques, and ways of thinking about painterly exploration of a subject within the confines of a moment.
