"Alla Prima Portrait Painting"
October 19-22, 2023
 

This workshop is about painting the portrait alla prima (wet-into-wet) and the techniques used to create a fresh, direct response to our subjects. There will be a painting demonstration and lots of class time for students to work from a live portrait models. Rather than focusing on details, students will learn to simplify and interpret the head and face as a series of basic shapes and planes described by light and shadow. Shevlino will spend time discussing basic proportions and how to recognize the planes of the head and how to simplify them. Shevlino studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (certificate ’84) and the University of Pennsylvania (BFA ’92). Visit davidshevlino.com.

"Painting Brilliant Skies & Water in Pastel"
November 1-4, 2023
 

The sky is the most emotional aspect of any landscape painting. It sets the mood, time of day and the attitude of your painting. We will investigate the individual characteristics of sky and water and how to render them. On Day One and Two, we will work on techniques for clear skies and creating believable clouds. On Day Three, we use underpainting to explore the layers of transparency in water, and Day Four, we work on whitewater. There will be daily demonstrations along with plenty of one-on-one instruction at your easel. Workshop will be held indoors. Liz Haywood-Sullivan, PSA-MP, IAPS/MC, is a representational landscape artist painting in the pastel medium. Visit lizhaywoodsullivan.com.
