Good morning,
I have scouted high and low for locations for the workshop on WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY
that are:
1. GORGEOUS!
2. Shady, especially for the afternoon
3. Convenient, as in bathrooms close by
4. Oh, and did I mention, GORGEOUS!
As of this morning, we didn’t have enough students to fill the class. So we have extended registration one more day. This means you can take advantage of a small, but great workshop!
The morning of Day One will be spent at Abacela (see photos).The views make me feel like I’m in France. OK, so I’ve never actually been to France, but I do watch the travel channel! At Abacela there are views of the sloping hillsides of grapes and views of the valleys below. Everywhere you look there is a painting to made!
Wednesday afternoon we will retreat to the shade to paint more intimate, close-up scenes.
Our next day will start off in the elcectic area of Jackson Street. Even if you have never painted a street scene, you will enjoy painting here. I will show you everything I can about choosing a street scene subject. I promise it will be fun and not painful!
Thursday afternoon will be STUDENT’S CHOICE of a farm scene or another beautiful vineyard.
We will conclude the workshop with a review of the work and of the material and ideas presented.
DURING the workshop, I will show you how to divide up your paper to include notes, a value sketch, color study and completed painting. I learned this from technique from Australian painter, David Taylor. It’s my FAVORITE method of on-site painting because it gives you an excellent source to work from back in your studio.
In just two days of painting, you will have wonderful references from four completely different locations. You will come away with new skills, great reference material and an enhanced appreciation of the beauty that surrounds us here in Douglas County.
HOPE you can join the fun,
Vinita
