Sunday Funday: Let's Paint Fruits!
Ended - Sunday 25 September 2022
Alonsa Guevara is a New York-based artist originally from Rancagua, Chile. Her paintings are a window to an imaginary universe where the lines between fantasy and reality are blurred. Guevara’s work explores questions of womanhood, identity and belonging while celebrating the connection between humankind and nature. Her main inspiration derives from the experiences of living in three different countries, and is especially impacted by the formative memories of her childhood spent living in the Ecuadorian rainforest with her family. After living in Ecuador for seven years, Alonsa moved back to Chile to receive her BFA from the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile in 2009. In 2011, she moved to New York to complete the MFA Program at the New York Academy of Art. She was awarded the Elizabeth Greenshields Grant in 2013 and received the Academy's Fellowship award in 2015. Alonsa's work has been published in Forbes Magazine, Time Out NYC Magazine, VICE, among others and has been exhibited internationally, including China, Mexico, Denmark, Argentina and Chile. Her most recent solo show Apparitions was in February 2021 at Anna Zorina Gallery in NYC.

This workshop invites students of all artistic levels to participate in a fun class where they will learn basic painting techniques to create a realistic portrait of a natural object. In the classroom, there will be fruits and vegetables that the students will use as models to study their patterns, colors, and details. During this workshop, the students will learn to work from observation using a life model and they will also learn how to use photos as reference to create a realistic portrait of the chosen natural object. And finally they will experiment with their creativity using photo references to create an imaginary fruit. Students will focus on learning color mixing, the use of optical black, and painting details to achieve a realistic painting.
