Description
Have you
ever wanted to tap back into that magic that you experienced when you picked up
a paint brush for the first time? Have you always looked at people painting and
wanted to feel that creative inspiration too? Or are you an artist who is
locked into painting for purpose or outcome and you want to recharge that intuitive,
creative connection? This is a course designed to create a strong connection
between artist and inspired creation. We will be doing exercises targeted at
helping you feel confident in your brushstroke, and detached from your outcome.
We will delve into the creative process and discover the artistic freedom
within each of us.
Bio
Jessica
Gordon has been a professional Artist and Color Consultant for 15 years; having
graduated from the Atlanta College of Art with a degree in Painting in 1997. Her
obsession with color was born in a figure painting class where each color had
to be mixed on the pallet, scooped up with the pallet knife, walked over to the
model to match that particular skin tone & shadow, before the paint was
allowed to touch the brush or the canvas. It was then, that Jessica was sucked
in to the world of paint colors. Color mixing has given her a unique
understanding of the make-up of color and how to achieve certain nuances. After
college, Jessica furthered her color and paint education by working in retail
paint stores, where she gained a comprehensive understanding of the paint
industry from the manufacturers themselves. Painting murals, creating
decorative finishes, working in paint stores and continuing to create fine art
have all provided Jessica with essential professional experience. Desperate for
more information, Jessica was searching for a graduate program in color
consulting or color theory; although one does not exist, she was delighted to find
the IACC-NA (International Association of Color Consultants/Designers – North
America) in 2004. In 2007, Buckets
of Color was created as Jessica launched out on her own, solely creating her
income from Color Consulting. She considers this work both fulfilling and
joyful. After consulting with her 1,000th client; Jessica left the
Annapolis MD area and moved back to Atlanta, GA.
Jessica
continues to develop her art, and has recently discovered her consulting world
colliding with her art career. Her latest endeavor combines her approach to
color consulting with her painting in a way that she finds inspiring and
rewarding. While developing this next series of work, Jessica continues to
teach color theory and painting to professional through amateur art
enthusiasts. As of July 1, 2012 Jessica became President of the IACC-NA where
she is dedicating her time and energy to growing the awareness of this
original/pre-eminent color organization. The mission being to educate artists
and designers in methods to create more user supported environments. Color
truly is Jessica’s passion.
