View Details →The Artistry of Light with Richie Vios
Richie Vios, award-winning plein air artist, will host a 3-day watercolor workshop for intermediate to advanced level artists who want to learn the art of watercolor painting. Richie shares how to be a successful watercolor Studio/Pleinair artist by simplifying the watercolor process into the essential elements, guiding each artist for a better understanding of the watercolor medium through live demonstrations, and creating a process at their skill level, pace, medium, and subject matter. Richie demonstrates how the four pillars of a good watercolor painting and an understanding of the Watercolor Consistency called "Watercolor Clock," lead to a more truthful work of art that is full of passion. Richie will help you develop your skills, painting visualization, and become the confident plein air artist that you want to be.

View Details →The Figure in Outdoor Light with Albin Veselka
The focus of this class is going to be doing outdoor studies of the clothed human figure. We will be setting up models and painting them from life with a variety of time limits, lighting situations, and format sizes. Understanding natural light on your subject is key whether you’re finishing a painting outdoors from life or in the studio from a photo. I will be focusing on helping the students understand basic concepts and practices that will allow them to integrate this practice into their work and manage its complexities by simplifying the process and the focus to necessary components while eliminating excuses, superfluous details and distractions. 10 Student Maximum
