Jeri Greenberg Demo (Zoom) - Painting the Figure in an Interior Setting
MAPS member Jeri Greenberg will do a demo of an urban interior and figure, two of her favorite painting subjects, along with still life and fabrics. Pastel painting and teaching have become her “next act” after a career as a fashion illustrator, sportswear designer, and advertising. Jeri believes painters should have a strong drawing foundation down before working on colors. Jeri is one of 30 well-known pastelists teaching at the third annual Pastel Live global virtual art conference between August 17-19, 2023. This program will be virtual using Zoom; the link will be emailed to Members. Learn more about Jeri Greenberg at Jeri Greenberg (jerigreenbergart.com) |

Live Evening Reception with Laura Pollak (Demo)
ROCK PAPER SCISSORS. During this Demo, we will look at a landscape from ‘Out West’ and look at the lights and darks on the rocks and landforms. Laura will do an exercise to isolate and group the lights from the darks, sort of cutting them apart. She will then proceed to do a quick block in painting quickly with large shapes, focusing on values. Learn more about Laura Pollak at www.laurapollak.com. |
