The Painters Guild presents, Jason Polins, Demonstration: Still Life in Oils

Sunday, October 11 2:00pm ~ 4:00pm

“My process has been inspired by my extensive training in school from life and nature, as well as by studying the works of master painters.

I have a great respect for master painters of the past, because they were innovative and creative in their painting techniques.

With my own artistic process I try to find the basic geometric shapes of the painting as proportionately as possible.

From there, I block in the shadow shapes, lay in color, and refine.

Hue, value, chroma and drawing are all equally important elements.

If you neglect one, the others will be aversely affected.

For a painting to be successful it must remain a cohesive unit.

Clarity of thought from inception to completion, for me, is a sign of a strong work, and is something that I am interested in maintaining in my own art.” - Jason Polins Jason Polins is a Bostonian who began his career in his early teens, drawing poster designs for high school plays.

Early on he was invited to participate in a college level class to study the figure at Boston University, where he would later go on to attend as a full time undergraduate student.
He received his BFA from Boston University in 1994 and went on to study in Florence Italy at The Florence Academy of Art.

During that time he honed his skills as a realist painter, fulfilling his studies in 1997 and receiving their certificate of completion.

Upon returning to Boston he has continued painting and studying with various notable painters, such as Nelson Shanks in Philadelphia, and Gary Hoffmann in Boston.

Having always felt a strong connection to the heritage of painters of The Boston School of Painting he endeavors to pursue the ideals of strong drawing skills, composition, and color in each of his own works.
He keeps a studio in Somerville, MA where he conducts classes as well as works on his own art.

Classes are held weekly and include critiques demonstrations and technique work.
It is a wonderful opportunity to watch, learn, question and speak with the artists in a comfortable setting.
Located in the Plummer Studio, admission and parking are free and the public is welcome .
