Open to adults with all levels of experience, University of Mississippi Associate Professor of Art Philip Jackson will lead a two-day workshop on still life painting. Space is limited for this workshop, and pre-registration is required.

 
Philip JacksonPhilip Jackson is an Associate Professor of Art at the University of Mississippi in Oxford where he currently teaches and heads the painting program. His work is part of the permanent collections of art museums in Evansville and Fort Wayne, Indiana, Huntsville, Alabama and most recently the Mississippi Arts Commission in Jackson, Mississippi.

His paintings have been featured in a number of premiere magazines, including, Art in America, Southwest Art, American Art Collector, and American Artist Magazine. He has received grants from the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation in Montreal, Canada, a two-time recipient of the Mississippi Arts Commission Fellowship, numerous scholarly research grants from The University of Mississippi and most recently was named this year’s fellow of the $15,000 Jane Crater Hiatt Fellowship.

He received his BFA from the Columbus College of Art & Design in Columbus, Ohio and his MFA from Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio, and studied abroad at (SACI) Studio Art Centers International in Florence, Italy.

Working in the established genre of still life, Philip R. Jackson takes a traditional subject and invigorates it with a fresh contemporary vision. Jackson’s paintings are seen through the eyes of another world. Overlooked and commonplace, objects are suspended in a single moment. However, it is in the intimate act of seeing that one can observe an unveiling universe. Bathed in light, the mystery of each object is revealed. The haunting silence of what has happened or the inevitable finish of what is yet to come fills the air with anticipation.

Learning to Sketch from Museum Masters

So many artists have learned by paraphrasing the works of earlier masters. Manet paraphrased Delacroix, Van Gogh, in his idiosyncratic style, copied El Greco and Cezanne’s influence flooded Picasso’s work. In the 20th century, Jackson Pollock filled his early sketchbooks with studies of master drawings and the young Grace Hartigan painted her way through Rubens and Velasquez.

Have you ever wished you could learn to sketch by studying master works?
Here is your chance to explore an exciting approach to doing that in a weekend afternoon workshop in the Museum’s studio and galleries. This two step process is especially useful for museum sketching because the wet medium is utilized before and after the dry sketching that is required in galleries and museums.

Part I: Saturday ~ In the Museum’s Art Studio
You will learn to prepare your sketchbook pages in advance by creating delicate watercolor monotypes. We will then practice “paraphrase” sketching of master artists’ drawings while experimenting with water color pencils and wash.

Part II: Sunday ~ Sketching in the Museum galleries
We will use the watercolor pages created the prior afternoon to gesturally sketch over them while viewing works on site in the museum galleries. A surprising synchronicity often emerges as the sketches combine with the background colors. To complete the afternoon, we return to the studio to add final accents with wash.
