Painting in the Style of Katherine Bradford

In this project we will look at some recent paintings by Katherine Bradford, a Brooklyn based artist. She came to prominence late in her career in her seventies with paintings of people in swimming pools using bold, glowing colors and expressive paint. She is now 82 and very much an active artist. The image of one or several people in a swimming pool is a very universal one and we will make our own brightly colored version using paint and collage on paper.

Materials:

• One large sheet of multi-media paper at least 11"x14", heavier weight would be better
• Several sheets of smaller multi-media paper for collage
• Any collage materials you would like to use: tinfoil, scraps of cloth, beads, anything that you think might add to the swimming pool.
• Paints, acrylic or gouache would be ideal but also possible to use watercolor
• Scissors
• Glue
• Ruler
• Pencil
• Brushes
• Palette, 12”x12” square of cardboard with tinfoil wrapped over it (simply add another sheet over the square each time you paint)

This is a 3-class series being held on Wednesdays, 1pm-2:30pm at the Sea Isle City Library:

• 7/31
• 8/7
• 8/14 (This class only will be 1:30pm-3pm)

All registrants are required to attend the first class of a series. If absent, your spot will be given to the next in line on the Waitlist.

About Joel Adas - I have been teaching painting, drawing, and collage to all ages for 30 years. I grew up in Highland Park, New Jersey but moved to Brooklyn, New York in the mid 1990s.  I’ve exhibited my paintings extensively in New York and abroad and throughout my years in Brooklyn continued to teach in schools and community centers. My basic approach is to combine art making with some art history and a sense of where certain ideas and approaches to art come from.
