ZOOM WORKSHOP WITH SUSAN WOOLGAR - ABSTRACTING THE LANDSCAPE
Online - September 17-19, 2021
ABSTRACTING THE LANDSCAPE in acrylic is for experienced beginner to intermediate level artists who would like to break out of realism, loosen up and to learn to abstract the landscape. Susan will guide us through several exercises to accomplish this, including color exercises to develop different palettes, value exercises to enhance design, the mechanics of building a painting and using line as an expressive tool. Susan will also include mark-making exercises and how to simplify our reference photos. We will then apply the above lessons to a larger canvas, introducing some texturing to the surface and experimenting with layers. We will have lots of individual time with Susan, and lots of time to paint. Includes demos and critiques and an atmosphere of encouragement and fun.
This workshop will run through Zoom and we will have a private Facebook page set up for students to post their work after each day. Also, the demos will be recorded and will be available to students for two weeks after the end of the workshop.
Dates: September 17-19, 2021 Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 10 am to 1 pm MOUNTAIN TIME
Price: $240.

In this easy going and very informative 3 day workshop we will learn all the steps and techniques of painting a character portrait in pastel from reference materials. We will discuss the basic structure of the head and the face features, although this is not an anatomy class. Jane will also give us lots of tips on how to achieve a likeness in your portraiture and we will do some charcoal exercises in the first day. Next day we'll dive into the painting character from the reference. We'll discuss good design, colour temperature and accurate drawing. Demo will be done for a portrait, but the principals apply for any subject matter. Using important blocks of painting, such as composition, value pattern, color scheme, texture and edges, we will bring our references to life. Good photos are essential: Jane will have lots of reference material from her world travels to share with us. This is a Zoom workshop and will run a full 5 hours per day, and we will have a limit of 14 students so that we have lots of individual time with Jane. The workshop will include exercises, lectures and demos as well as time to paint with Jane’s assistance. We start at 10:00 am Mountain Time until 12:30. Then a short lunch break and we resume at 1:00 to 3:30. As well, the demos will be recorded and will be available for a period of 4 weeks after the workshop is over. And we will have a private Facebook page so that we can post our work. Dates: October 14-16, 2021 From 10 am to12:30 pm, and from 1:00 to 3:30 pm.
