Harmony and vitality are present in a painting only when the artist perfects the relationship between color and form. In this workshop students will explore useful techniques for understanding color. This workshop will offer a practical hands-on approach to color for the beginner and intermediate student. Each day will incorporate a specific lesson about mixing colors, color relationships and the influence of light on color. We will also analyze how some artists throughout history used color to express the power of emotion. Students will come away mastering basic understanding of color and its inherent visual impact.
Michele Liebler has had several solo and group exhibitions in New York City. She is a native New Yorker and continues to work in her studio in Brooklyn to produce works of art for her upcoming exhibitions. Eileen Watkins, writing in Star Ledger, called Liebler a “soulful” painter who “has a particular gift for giving inanimate objects personalities. And from the exhibition Re-Figuring the Figure, William Zimmer, in The New York Times, characterized Michele Liebler’s work by remarking, “looking outward is something of a leitmotif.” He described her tense, frontal Self-Portrait in the Studio as “compelling.” She received her B.F.A., Magna Cum Laude from Purchase College in painting and drawing and her M.F.A. from Brooklyn College. She also studied with Mary Beth McKenzie and Burt Silverman.
