Exciting New Workshops for 2010 Featuring:

Robert Johnson
June 7th-10th 2010
4 day studio workshop
Tuscaloosa, AL
Still Life and Portraiture
$635.00
(Space is Limited)

“I have always been inspired and energized as a painter by a variety of subject matter. Still life, florals, landscapes, figures, boat and water, as well as portraits, all have their special individual stories and lessons to teach. The strong and vibrant colors of a floral may at a later date subconsciously creep into and energize a landscape. The precision and subtlety required when painting a portrait can impart a vitality to a later still life. The speed and artistic flexibility required for plein air landscapes can give life to a portrait or figure composition.”
While his material and techniques are classics, his bold brushwork - fresh and luminous paint combined with an expert draftsman’s eye, gives his work a transcendent quality that is uniquely his own.

American Art Collector’s award winner for March 2010, Robert Johnson will emphasize that seeing with freshness, honesty and great clarity is a fundament tool to create powerful paintings and he will offer demonstrations and individual instruction focused on exploring time-tested principles of painting. The brushstroke itself will be emphasized as a means of depicting form, to achieve expressive power and maintain a painting’s freshness.

The first two days of Robert Johnson's Workshop will be devoted to painting still life and the last two days will be devoted to painting portraiture from a live model.

An exciting workshop not to be missed!

 

Lucy Mazzaferro
September 27th-29th 2010
3 day studio workshop
Tuscaloosa, AL
Still Life
$450.00
(Space is Limited)

"I paint with vibrant color using a direct painting technique called "Alla Prima" which means painting wet into wet which allows me to control edges and to mix color on canvas. I believe that the essence of a painting is the composition and design. I like to see light travel from left to right across the painting creating energy and movement." Lucy is a member of the Oil Painters of America and a top ten finalist - International Artists Magazine Still Life competition.

The focus of this three day workshop will be still life. Lucy will demonstrate for the group and give individual instruction as well. You will learn through her wonderful use of color and dramatic brush strokes how to bring life to your canvas. Lucy's masterful teaching techniques are not only educational, the are inspiring and enjoyable!

Don't miss this incredible opportunity to paint with Lucy Mazzaferro!

Kim English
October 25th-27th 2010
3 day Plein Air workshop
Tuscaloosa, AL
$535.00
(Space is Limited)

Colorado based painter Kim English depicts in his paintings the simple beauty found in daily life. Known for his mastery of chiaroscuro, each piece speaks to the true focus of English's inspiration - the harmony existing between light and shadow.
His subject matter, ranging from a street side fruit stand in Mexico to sun filled windows, creates a particular mood, through which the viewer is introduced to charming scenarios that are wrapped in depth and texture, and are entirely about paint. This is the primary force of English's painting - his astonishing manipulation of his medium. He maintains a feeling of spontaneity by completing each painting in one sitting - the alla prima method. He says of using this method, "Immediacy is important. Not only because it is often the nature of people, but for me it is the most instinctive way to paint. The process is like a performance. It's the magic of spontaneous work combined with a candid observation of society that allows me to pursue the daily events of ordinary people as the theme of my work."

Kim’s three day plein air workshop will be held in various location in Tuscaloosa and Northport. With easy access to each location your time will be spent painting and learning Kim’s award winning masterful techniques. This workshop will include several group demonstrations as well as individual instruction. Join us for this exciting plein air workshop and the opportunity to learn how to capture the beauty of life in motion.
