Description:
In this 3-day intensive workshop with this national award-winning artist Amanda Houston, you will learn the secrets of painting the most important subject to master in landscape paintings: light and illuminating sky scenes.
With daily demos, experimentation and plenty of individual instruction, this beloved instructor will generously share her techniques for achieving masterful results. Amanda will walk through the anatomy of how to create the glowing skies she achieves with her pastels, and how to paint reflections of light. Whether an early dawn’s brilliance, or an afternoon autumn sky, or a dramatic glowing sunset, light is the real subject we are painting.
his workshop will be at ArtWorks - just 3 blocks away from Cole Gallery, with an airy, large space and their own parking lot. Notice also the extended time (until 6pm on Friday, 5pm on Saturday and Sunday); come rested and prepared to absorb as much info as you can!
Packed with fast-paced design and loosening up exercises, this 3-day workshop will take your paintings to the next level!
Some experience in pastels is necessary.
A note about the variable, optional supply fee:
All of Amanda’s classes are grounded in design and composition, and have a balanced mix of theory, technique and experimentation. She likes her students to try as many different surfaces and techniques to expand their creative repertoire. To that end, Amanda will demo how to use different techniques on different surfaces to achieve great results.
You will have the option to learn to create your own surface by painting a sanded gesso to a board or metal. For the optional supply fee, Amanda will provide copper, gator board, sanded gesso medium, roller and sandpaper, as well as lecture, demo and hands-on guidance if people want to try preparing your own surface boards. If possible, she will have extra paper if people want to purchase more from her. Instead of a flat fee, these items will be available to students as separate purchases, so that you can pay as you use them, and aren’t paying for things you don’t use. Please bring cash or check payable to Amanda if you are interested in this option. More information will be available on the first day of the
