UPCOMING WORKSHOPS 

Exploring the Impressionists:  A Duplication

 In this workshop, we will explore the techniques of various Impressionists, to see and recreate their use of paint (color, quality and texture).  Duplicating a Master’s painting is an excellent way to broaden and add to our own technique.  This will be a constructive, laid-back workshop with great music and good fun!

Beginning Oils: Still Life with Limited Palette 

Exploring the many colors in a subject using only the primary colors.

Create paintings using three principles:  line, tone and color.  We will begin with a simple still life drawing on canvas followed by demonstrations and discussions of tone (the lights and darks that build depth) and then introduce color.  Using only the primary colors we will discuss color theory and practice mixing colors for our paintings.  This is a perfect workshop for the beginner.  Paintings will be completed step by step with simple demonstrations and one on one instruction.  Expect a safe learning atmosphere, lots of fun and great relaxing music.

Classical Drawing

Every great work starts with a drawing.  We will study the techniques of the Masters and create drawings from still life.  This workshop will focus on drawing skills and tools to help you achieve accurate work.
