LANDSCAPE-ALLA PRIMA

Instructor Karl Heerdt was born in Western New York and has always called the area home.

He specializes in engaging and dynamic landscapes from around the country , compelling still lifes , figurative paintings and sculpture. Karl is an associate member of Oil Painters of America and his work can be found in private and corpo-rate collections throughout the United States, Canada and Europe.

Karl is represented by Meibohm Fine Arts in East Aurora New York, the Oxford Gallery in Rochester New York, the Cooley Gallery in Old Lyme CT, Planet Bronze Art Gallery in Bo-zeman MT, and Common Ground Art Gallery in Red Lodge MT.

In this class we will focus intensely on the fundamental essentials that are needed to create a successful work of art, not just a painting.

Design, idea.... what are you trying to say? Compos-tion.....presenting your idea in the simplest, yet most interesting way. Value control....difficult to master, but an essential skill. Edges....a most misunderstood and ignored element in painting. Col-or....getting the "right" color you are envisioning or trying to match.

At times we will work as a group, other times on our own. Karl will perform group demonstrations and individual mini demo‟s as needed.

I will be encouraging everyone to complete their paintings in a single sitting. I am not interested in a successful or failed painting, (you will have both) I am interested in building your skills in a timely fashion. There is too much to learn in painting than to doddle about. You can learn more in ten failed paintings ,than you could ever hope to in one long drawn out, albeit successful painting.

MIXED MEDIA

Instructor - Todd Chalk has an impressive history of juried exhibitions and awards and has had her work published in two watercolor books and many catalogs.

Would you like to explore Mixed Media to find new and different ways to express yourself? The class would include any media not using sol-vents—dry or wet. Learn to explore your favorite subjects in mixed media in any style that you prefer!

LANDSCAPE

Instructor Lucette Banas is a life-long resident of Western New York, with degrees in Art History and Art Education. She has spent her entire adult life painting, teaching art, and exhibiting her work in New York, Pennsylvania, Maine, and Massachusetts. Her passion is Landscape Painting. " Art for me, is a compulsion. The conscious and subcon-scious choices involved in the process of painting, are a never ending source of excitement, and amazement for me."

Class will begin by reviewing fundamental principles of landscape paint-ing including: finding a reference, composition, perspective, and how to begin. Attention will be given to techniques for achieving texture, form, space, atmosphere, and color. The goal of the course is to develop confidence as you discover individuality in painting.

CLASSES & WORKSHOPS

WATERCOLOR WORKSHOPS

Instructor Ray Lockhart’s love of painting started very early in life. As a child living on Lake Michigan he came to love the sea, ships, light-houses, and fishing villages along the eastern shore. Today these sub-jects inspire many of his paintings. His career began 50 years ago in commercial art as a designer, art director, and illustrator. Since retiring he has pursued his first love—watercolor. Ray began teaching and con-ducting watercolor workshops in 2002. Along the way he studied with Tony Couch, Mel Stabin and Drew Struzan. Ray has been acknowl-edged with numerous awards.

His workshops are designed for the aspiring watercolor artist, those with some experience and those who are just getting started. Each

class begins with a painting demonstration. You may paint along with the artist, or pick a subject that appeals to you. There will be additional demos on design, value studies, washes, painting skies, waterscapes, trees and shrubs, misting,

splattering, sponging, and class critique. www.raylockhartwatercolorworkshops.com

STILL LIFE WITH HONGNIAN ZHANG

HongNian Zhang is an internationally known Chinese American artist who works in the Western academic tradition. His paintings are in private, cor-porate and museum collections in America, Europe and Asia.

Born in Nanjing, China, Zhang's artistic training began at age nine. At fourteen he was the top student accepted to the Central Art Academy Affiliated High School in Beijing. After graduation, the Cultural Revolution shut down the schools and Zhang was sent to the remote countryside for four years of forced labor. Upon returning he became the youngest artist employed by the Beijing Art Academy, and the youngest ever elected to the All China Artists Association. As leader of the "Scar" art period, an important artistic movement in China exposing the painful memories of the Cultural Revolution, three of Zhang's paintings were acquired for the Chinese National Art Gallery's permanent collection.

He moved to Woodstock, NY 1991 and taught for several years in the graduate program of the New York Academy, and at the Woodstock School of Art. His works have appeared in many publications, including National Geographic, Fine Art Connoisseur, and Artist magazines. National Geographic Society acquired four of his Chinese historical paintings for their permanent collection

Hongnian will teach two 3 Day STILL LIFE WORKSHOPS that will emphasize the harmonious use of color and compos-tion to effectively express your concept in painting.

ALLA PRIMA PORTRAIT WITH LOIS WOOLLEY

Lois Woolley is an oil and pastel painter whose specialty is portraiture. Her portraits and figurative paintings are known for their classic style, rich color and expressive mood. Her love for painting portraits stems from an abiding interest in people: "People seem to me the ultimate subject matter - there is nothing so fascinating, beautiful and universally rele-

vant as an individual person.

She has been featured in Northlight Book's Pure Color: The Best of Pastel, The Pastel Jour-nal, and Hudson Valley Magazine. Honors include being a Fellow of the American Artists Pro-fessional League, winning Best Portfolio 2004 at the Portrait Society of America, and being the 2005 recipient of the Woodstock Artist Museum's Yasuo Kuniyoshi award. In 2007, she won the prestigious Joseph Giffuni Memorial Award at the Pastel Society of America's annual ex-hibit.

Woolley's primary artistic training was in New York's Art Students League where she studied drawing and anatomy with Robert Beverly Hale and painting with Robert Brackman. Always searching to combine full color with strong form, her association with Zhang and his palette led to her current style.

Her two day ALLA PRIMA PORTRAIT WORKSHOP will focus on helping you learn to start and finish a portrait in one session.
