Immerse yourself in a three-day intensive with critically acclaimed painter, Stuart Shils.  Painting outdoors in the city, the class will examine crucial aspects of the direct visual encounter, emphasizing discriminating observation, perceptual hierarchy and a deeper understanding of color and drawing. The class will begin with a slideshow of master works from past and present to illuminate different artists’ approaches to active looking, emphasizing the relationship of perception and composition through the graphic languages of painting, drawing and photography.  Additional focus will be place on the practice of drawing.  NoteFor intermediate/advanced painters.

Stuart Shils, a PAFA alumnus and faculty member, has painted the landscape for over 25 years and his work has been presented in solo shows in Philadelphia, New York, Tel Aviv, Boston, San Francisco and Cork, Ireland.  Critical review and commentary has appeared in The New York Times, The Philadelphia Inquirer, Art in America, The New Yorker, American Artist and numerous other publications.  Grants and awards include an Independence Foundation Fellowship in the Arts, a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant and an Academy Award in Art from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.  An annual visiting critic at the Vermont Studio Center, Shils teaches painting across the country and abroad.
