"Pressman’s dexterity in suggesting sensory experiences through the pure language of paint is not only evident in her inventive applications but also in her talents as a colorist"

Teaching Schedule

| A Day in the Catskills, encaustic, encaustic from Mapping a Place at Susan Eley Fine Art, NYC |
- 2014-2015 WORKSHOP INTENSIVES:
November 19–20,
2014
April 27-May 1
Advanced Encaustic
R&F Handmade Paint, Kingston , NY
This two-day advanced encaustic workshop will take experienced students to the
next level in technique and expression. Individual direction and development of
a personal vision will be a goal of this class with an emphasis on freeing the
creative spirit. I will use guided exercises to lead students through an
intuitive creative process, developing a new body of work that is richly
layered in content and concept. Activities will include exercises, informal
group discussion and individual support. Exercises are grounded in abstraction;
attention will be paid to the use of personal symbols and markings that could
develop into a deeper visual dialogue.
December 10-12, 2014
Exploring
Your Visual Language with R&F Pigment Sticks
R&F Handmade Paint, Kingston , NY
R&F Pigment Sticks
are oil paint with just enough wax added for the paint to be molded into stick
form. They allow the artist to draw or paint onto a surface with freedom and
directness. This workshop introduces you to pigment sticks and allows you to
explore a wide variety of mark making, creating rich layered surfaces.
Exercises are designed to help beginners and professionals alike free
themselves from preconceived ideas of painting. Emphasis will be on using the
techniques to heighten and enhance the artist's own visual language. Individual
attention is given to each student so the beginner as well as the professional
will get the feedback needed to bring back to their studio. Power point
presentations, discussions of contemporary art, professional and career support
are all offered.

Mentoring Offered: Please email for information
Recommendation from artist Bridgette Guerzon Mills
"I came to Lisa Pressman with a specific set of goals in mind
that I wanted to address in my art and my art career goals and she was a
wonderful soundboard and guide. I really appreciated the way she looked at my
work and my goals and helped me hone in on what is essential to my visual
voice, as well as pushing me to really think and delve further. Months later, I
am still referring to my notes I took during our sessions and our email
exchanges. Doing the mentorship with Lisa was like being given a toolbox full
of resources and reflections that I have taken with me and will keep with me
for a long time. "
