February 26 - 28, 2017
9:30 - 4:30 PM

​Cost: $475


Author of “Modern Acrylics”, “Color Theory for Painters” “Getting Started in Acrylics”
 
If you feel that you are concentrating too much on small details at the expense of a bolder, more dramatic outcome, this step-by-step workshop will help you to learn what to paint and more importantly, what to leave out. You will practice using bigger brushes and ample paint. We will take color to new unexpected places by working with simplified values. You will learn how to loosen up and apply your paint in a gestural, painterly manner.  Join us for targeted instruction and training - this may open the door to an exciting new level of creativity and artistic expression.
 
The workshop begins with with a full explanation of materials, methods and a step-by-step painting demo
 
You will learn and practice:
- how to simplify and see values clearly
- how to create a value sketch as a “roadmap” to a successful painting
- how to translate values into colors
- how to simplify - knowing what detail is important - and whats not
- how to paint with fewer strokes for a bolder look
- how to work with thicker paint and bigger brushes
- how to keep colors clean and bright’
- how to get energetic, gestural brushwork
-  and much more

I was spending 20 hours on a small painting and now can do it in one! I spent so many years trying to break away from my tight style and was able to do it through this class. The quality of instruction was amazing. Thank you so much, Patti. You are an amazing artist and great teacher, with great communication.- Adam L.

Artist Statement "Great painting is not about the subject matter, but rather the way an artist communicates beauty, sensitivity and integrity in whatever is depicted. Flowers, gardens and sunsets are no more worthy as painting subjects than a subway station full of weary commuters, or a close-up of old rundown fire escapes. My goal as a painter is to point out the hidden artistic beauty I see in all scenes and objects, most especially the ones that are not commonly thought of in an artistic light."
