Description:
NOTE - The painting demo on Thursday evening March 28 is an integral part of the workshop, and is included in the price. Please plan to attend the demo if you sign up for the workshop.
Learn to oil paint from life in the Russian Impressionist's tradition in rich and vibrant, warm and living color!
This workshop is set up to take each student at their own level through the basics of oil painting - exploring value, color temperature, intensity and edges with still lifes and portraiture. With acclaimed artist and instructor Pam Ingalls, you will examine the light on simple subject matter, and discuss the importance of allowing one’s choice of subject matter to come from within.
Class will start with a portrait demo on Thursday evening. Please arrange your schedules so that you can arrive early enough on Thursday to watch the entire painting demonstration, with plenty of time for questions afterwards. This is an integral part of your workshop. The demo will begin promptly at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday.
Friday through Saturday will be an immersion into painting in this beautifully lush and user-friendly style, with still life set-ups all around the studio. Then on Sunday, you will have the opportunity to learn to paint a model from life. On these days, there will be 45 minute lunch break - feel free to bring your lunch. [Please visit our "FAQ" page for ideas on where to park your car, if you don't want to deal with moving your car during the lunch break.]
All levels are very welcome!
