Working In A Series

You are an intermediate to advanced artist who has learned the "nuts and bolts" of making art and you now want to take your work and your studio practice to a more authentic, productive place. This is the course for you if:

  • You feel stuck in your art and are not sure how to move forward or

  • You are often unsure of what to paint next or

  • You want to find your own personal style but are unsure about how to do that, or

  • You are an experienced artist looking for a way to invigorate your studio practice, or

  • You need help establishing a productive, consistent studio practice, or

  • You want to build a cohesive body of work to submit to galleries or for an exhibition

I Can Help!

With over 30 years as an artist and 20+ years as a teacher I've learned that working in a series can unleash your creativity in expansive and unexpected ways! Building a series can:

  • foster a deeper, richer engagement with your subject matter which leads to more personal, authentic work,

  • establish or strengthen a focused, prolific studio practice so you make more art

  • spark new ideas, creative combinations of ideas, motifs, materials and tools

  • encourage exploration and engagement through process and experimentation

  • result in an authentic, personal body of work that looks and feels more like you

What will you learn and discover in this course?

  • Locate and explore motifs, themes, ideas, connections that have a deeper, richer meaning for you and result in more impactful, authentic work

  • Use the process to explore, investigate, experiment and dig deeper into new ideas, combinations of ideas, motifs, techniques, materials and tools

  • Reveal or strengthen your intentions for your work and your unique voice

  • How to organize, plan and execute a series

  • Promote visibility and career goals (solo shows, gallery representation, publications, etc.)

Here's What's Included

  • Weekly exercises and prompts designed to help you dig into each component of creating a series of work

  • Video discussion, demos and prompts

  • Upon enrollment you'll receive immediate access to the Introduction and Quick Start modules. You get access to the next module each week until the end of the course

What Students Are Saying

“When covid hit, I decided to take on-line classes and workshops to elevate my painting skills. I wanted to take a deep dive to fill in the skills I was missing. I have signed up for every class Deborah offers. I am thrilled with what I am learning and how it is advancing my painting skills.”

Susan Powers

“My landscape art has improved so much because of the Landscape Atelier with Deborah Paris. Her classes simplify the complex nature of landscape art. Deborah’s classes helped me breakdown the landscape so I could focus and improve on one part at a time. Deborah’s classes will help you find your visual voice in landscape art.”

The interactive online setting with not just Deborah but also the fellow artists who participate in her classes adds to the overall experience.”

“Deborah is a world-class teacher. She is thorough, thoughtful, kind, and very skilled. This atelier is the place where week by week you build on your skills and understanding with lesson plans, exercises, video demonstrations and zoom meetings. You have a sense of community with the other students and her platform allows you to see other people’s work for her appraisal and for yours. She replies quickly, kindly, thoroughly.”
