Workshop Details:
Let’s paint beautiful France! I will have wonderful photos from my recent trip to South France that we will paint from!
The workshop takes place inside the beautiful Grand Hall Terrace at the NRH Centre in North Richland Hills, Texas. My demos will be in oil, but some students choose to paint in Acrylics. (I will provide a color substitution for those who choose to paint in Acrylics). *Please note: acrylics tend to dry much faster than oils, so I recommend using the Golden Open Acrylics with medium to extend dry time.*
Our time together will include step by step demonstrations, one on one individual easel time, and fun exercises to learn how to loosen up to create bold, colorful paintings. Nothing is held back during the demo process as I share each color mixture used.
We will be painting in the “Alla Prima”method (working wet into wet).
Here’s what you will learn:
- to layer with transparent and opaque paints to get vibrant, clean color.
- to take an ordinary photo, and use artistic license to paint from the heart using expressive, loose brush strokes
- how to infuse beautiful lighting into your work
- color mixing
- how to arrange an eye-catching composition
- how to see Impressionistically, and explore the ability to “suggest” rather than “render” the subject.
- +more!
Come prepared to have a relaxing, fun-filled learning experience. This class is for all levels of painting, from beginners to advanced. It’s designed to help take your painting to the next level.
*If you are not ready to invest in your own set of oils, I have an option where you can pay a $50 fee to use the classroom Oil paints or if you prefer, Acrylics. Please let me know at least 2 weeks prior to the workshop start date.
You will still need to bring the other items on the supply list.
There are several options for accommodations nearby. If you need help, contact me and I can point you in the right direction.
Grand Hall Terrace
We will meet in the Grand Hall Terrace. Park in the Library parking lot. As you are facing the Grand Hall Terrace, there is a ramp to the right if you’d rather not take the stairs. Once inside, take the elevator or stairs to the 2nd level. The terrace has 2 walls of windows so the lighting is wonderful!
There are lots of restaurants near the NRH Centre. You are welcome to head out to eat, or bring your lunch. A refrigerator is available, but no microwave.
