CAL: Baker Plein Air Oil Workshop in May



Suzie Baker
Bringing It All Together
Plein Air Oil Painting

Bringing It All Together will kick off with a lecture and demo. Students receive instruction on principles of painting ranging from color, value, composition, color theory and so much more. Every day, you will apply what is being taught by getting outside to paint; seeing, recording and observing nature as it changes. Suzie will demo on location and offer one-on-one instruction to all the students while they paint.

Suzie's personal goal is to identify every student's level and provide strategies to progress, through group instruction, example, and individual interaction. Her humorous, informative manner makes tackling this multi-faceted challenge a fun and rewarding experience. 

Testimonials:
"Not only is Suzie an accomplished Plein Air painter, AND portrait artist, but she is one of the nicest people you'll meet.  When having a conversation with her, you get the feeling that she's really listening.  She'll offer you good and constructive advice, and throw in a couple of
favors as well!  In the short time that I've known her, she's bent over backward for me. She's a kind, "giving", artist."
​ Marjorie Hicks  


Wow! I learned so much and am ready to go to the next level by way of improved value in my paintings. Suzie was well organized, presented the material in a clear manner and was patient with all the questions I'm sure she's answered hundreds of times. I definitely recommend her to others!"

                           www.youtube.com/DavidMKesslerFineArt
Have you ever wondered how to Loosen-Up your painting style? Paint with more Freedom? Be more Spontaneous? Be more Expressive? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then my Bigger, Faster, Fresher, Looser Abstract Painting Workshop is for you! I will teach you how to do each of these realizing there should also be a firm foundation of structure for your paintings using shape, value, color, edges and center of interest. Here is some of what we'll cover:
  • How to loosen up and paint spontaneously with no pre-planning
  • How to use big brushes and lots of juicy paint
  • How to paint from your heart, not your head
  • How to create fresh beautiful color without making "mud"
  • Art business information
  • And much more!

This workshop is not only about painting abstract compositions, but also about learning to loosen-up and paint more freely. All who attend will be able to apply the lessons learned to their own style of painting in their studios.

​This workshop is non media specific. All who utilize watercolor, acrylic, pastel and oil are welcome.
​David M. Kessler is a nationally recognized abstract painter, workshop painting instructor, author and juror dedicated to helping people become better painters, period. Through live workshops, books, videos and online training programs he helps painters, both amateur and professional alike, to loosen up their painting style, understand art design fundamentals and discover the joy and freedom of abstract painting. Painting that comes from the heart, not the head. He is the author of Bigger, Faster, Fresher, Looser Abstract Painting Workbook, and founder of Abstract Painting Academy, Design Fundamentals for the Artist and Abstract Painting Insider. His paintings can be found in corporate collections in North Carolina and private collections worldwide. He works out of his studio in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

CAL: Natl Show Exhibit Reception on Mar. 24th




CAL: Anne Byrd in March




 This popular workshop is almost full but a couple of spaces are left.

Anne Byrd
Colored Pencil and Wax Pastel


 
Enhance your colored pencil skills or explore a new drawing medium with this hands-on workshop. Students will learn various techniques in colored pencil and wax pastel as they complete a small piece over the course of three days.  
Anne has been making art in one form or another since before she can remember. She has tried various mediums, but always finds her way back to drawing and painting.  It makes sense, considering she fell in love with drawing first. Anne's subject matter is where she tends to let go a bit. She revels in displaying objects or scenarios that really shouldn't exist together, but somehow complete one another. Soft and hard, sweet and terrifying, innocent and tarnished. Images that borderline on the uncomfortable, but still feel cohesive and unified. Her pieces tell a story, but not the whole story. They are windows into certain glimpses in a narrative that is already in play. Visions of things you catch out of the corner of your eye, but cannot be sure are real or merely ghosts of your imagination.   annebyrdart.com
