workshops coming up!!


WORKSHOPS COMING UP:

Picture
North West Fine Art Studio
Vancouver, CANADA 
February, 24th - 28th, 2014
Figure/Portrait workshop - $700.00


 Class Description: One week Portrait Painting or Drawing

The first day of the workshop will cover the understanding of 2-dimensional block-in using pencil on paper. Having an accurate block-in is the most important stage to drawing and painting. We will work with analyzing and improving our way of seeing to be more accurate to life. Students will learn to see flat shapes (mass drawing) to become more visually abstract with their thought process. Comparative measuring, angles, and alignments as necessary tools to use in a systematical approach will also be covered.

On the second day students will learn how to do an oil transfer of their drawing to canvas, as well as how to complete a one day color study. The rest of the week we will use the understanding of hue, value and chroma to paint 3-Dimensional Form. Organizing a palette as well as a mindset will enforce good controlled decisions and habits that will result in skills to accurately draw and paint what you see.

Still Life & Portrait Painting 
June 16-27, 2014

Sketches or color studies are a great way to develop your decision making skills. In both these classes, still life and portrait, we will use the first hour of class focusing on block-in. We will draw directly with paint on the canvas. Then we’ll spend the next four hours of class focusing on form and color to create a 3 dimensional likeness of the subject.  Comparative measuring, angles, and alignments, along with hue, value and chroma will be discussed. Organizing a palette as well as a mindset will enforce good controlled decisions and habits that will result in skills to accurately draw and paint what you see.

Each day we will start with a new canvas (average size being 8” x 6”). Having a different subject each day will cultivate an understanding of how to use an open palette and making new color decisions based on the subject matter.  It’s recommended for this class that students have some prior drawing skills.http://cloudcastleartstudio.com

summer 2014 workshop at Angel Academy of Art in Florence Italy!!

I am excited to announce I will be teaching a summer workshop at the Angel Academy of Art in Florence Italy. Not only is the Angel Academy one of the most influential schools in classical realism but it is set among one of the most beautiful Renaissance cities in Italy. Florence is one of my most favorite cities because among every corner there is the inspiration of art history, from some of the greatest works of art to the beautiful historical buildings and cobble stone streets. It really is like walking back in time. You can feel the passion and creative souls from times past. Its a true Honor to get a chance to teach the methods of my classes in a place thats been such an influence in my own work. This will be an experience not to miss! 
Please contact the Angel Academy for more information and to sign up today! http://www.angelartschool.com/workshop8_2014.html

The exhibit promotes the visibility of the best contemporary female artists portraying female subjects in the figurative tradition and showcases the quality, variety and breadth of woman making figurative art in the 21st Century. Works are available for purchase and include painting, drawing, printmaking and pastel.

Over 500 entries were received from female artists from 26 states in the US, Canada, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands and the Philippines. Juror and independent curator, Ellen Simak selected 36 works for this incredible exhibition.

Selected works will be on view September 7-28 at Townsend Atelier in Chattanooga, TN.     


ART THROW DOWN!
demo: 5:00-8:00 p.m.
It's not a proper exhibit opening without an ART THROW DOWN!

Have you ever been amazed at how differently some artists see the same subject?  Ever wonder if artists are competitive with each other?  Have you been curious about the different ways painters begin their paintings?

Join us for this free demonstration "Throw Down" with  Townsend Atelier instructors Cindy Procious and Mia Bergeron.  Watch as each artist starts, carries, and refines a portrait from life to its completion. Although Cindy andMia are close friends, watch them go brush to brush for this three hour painting demonstration, filled with laughs, antics and surprises. Questions, comments and hollering are all recommended from the audience.  Both paintings created during the demonstration will be auctioned at the end of the night at 8pm
