Detail of Color Block Study
These workshops are geared toward helping artists prepare for plein air painting season–emphasizing the use of color and knife work to describe the Alaskan landscape. We will be working with water soluble oils.
Artists can sign up for one or all the classes, but each class will build on knowledge and practice from the class the previous month. These workshops are appropriate for intermediate to professional artists and students. Students should have some experience with either painting or drawing. Each 4-hr workshop will be held on the third Saturday of the month, January through May at Pandemonium in Wasilla, Alaska. The workshops will start at 10 a.m. and end at 2:30 p.m. with a half an hour break for lunch.
Workshop dates:
January 22: Limited CMY palette hue circle and value charts
February 19: Still life block studies
March 19: Secondary palette hue circle and value charts
April 15: texture and atmosphere still life
May 21: Plein air field study
