Starting with Color
IN PERSON. Warehouse 521 in Nashville, Tennessee. March 17-21, 2025
This is a four day paint-from-life workshop in the studio. We will have still life setups and a model to allow us to approach the eternal questions of color, value, composition, figure-ground relationships, and what makes brushwork beautiful. What is it you see in something that inspires you to paint it? An awareness of your inspiration can guide the decisions you make as you paint. There will be demos and individual instruction. Set up to paint when you arrive--the first morning, there'll be a series of brief demos alternating with painting practice. Later on there will be extended painting sessions to make time to get into development of a painting.
Think Like a Painter: Still Life and Portrait
IN PERSON. Scottsdale Artists' School, March 31 - April 4, 2025.
In nature, light reveals color. In painting, color reveals light. Learning to understand lighting phenomena gives us more freedom in choosing how we paint what we see, rather than having to look to nature for every decision. Plan on some serious learning in a lighthearted atmosphere!
