Tara Will - Pastels: Immediacy and Color
January 27-29, 2023
Three days online Zoom workshop
Concept: Pastels are a great intuitive medium that has a wide range of application. This workshop focuses on technical application of pastels on a variety of surfaces with a focus on value, color, and mark making. All of this will be done within the focus of landscapes.
Experience: Using pastels, we will explore learning to "see" both abstract shapes and color. Demonstrations, critique, and personal exploration will help students grasp the technical information and application, as well as the "bigger picture" understanding of value, color, and mark making.

Tony Allain - Mood & Atmosphere with Fresh Eyes
May 12-14, 2023 (Workshop #1- Three days in person)
May 15 & 16, 2023 (Workshop #2- Two days in person)
Have you ever wanted to bring a looser and more painterly feel to your work loaded with juicy colour and flooded with light?
Fear not. The cavalry is coming!!!
Join me and I will share some of my working methods concentrating on painting landscapes and seascapes that delight you and excite the viewer. Using our reference photos, we can bring some fresh colour and a more painterly feel to our works. We will look at choosing editing and cropping our reference photographs. We will learn how to find the point of interest from the photo. I can supply a selection of reference photographs for you to experiment with.
Our aim is to capture the essence of the subject in an intuitive way with the freedom of ‘brushwork’ that has its roots in the alla prima work of the French Impressionists, giving a liveliness and vigorous mark that is instrumental in expressing the mood and atmosphere on a subject............. I wish to share my passion with you.
