Workshops for Fall 2010

Terry Strickland: Two Oil Painting Workshops

 

Terry’s set up two one-day workshops to show you some of her techniques for creating photorealistic oil paintings! In each class she will help you to understand the importance of controlling edges to create realistic illusions, transparency vs. opacity, and how to see reflected light. These two workshops are created to complement one another – you can take one or both!

 

It’s All Relative! Friday, Sept. 24, 10am–5pm
Learn to see and paint true value and temperature - the often overlooked 4th property of color. You’ll create a limited palette painting incorporating these principles as you go. Once you add these tools to your arsenal, your paintings will be changed forever.

So Many Colors! Saturday, Sept. 25, 10am - 5pm
A methodical and rational way to organize your palette and mix true colors! Why reinvent the wheel when you can learn and explore these tried and true painting methods. Terry will share her palette technique condensed from 30 years experience.
