Workshop Description: 

​The true subject of this workshop is light. Over the course of 3 days, you will study the way light reveals form, color and emotions. Using different subject matter each day, from a still life, to painting outdoors, to a photographic reference, Alain’s instruction will serve to stretch your understanding of light on varying surfaces to provide fresh inspiration and experience to you.
​
What will you learn?
  • How to paint with more confidence
  • How to approach varying subjects with a similar technique
  • How to work quickly to capture lighting effects
  • How to work loosely to suggest the subject instead of tightly rendering
  • How to develop more dynamic compositions
  • How to simplify complex scenes into clear shapes
  • How to transfer the sketch to the surface in the right proportion
  • How to see value and color
  • How to use underpainting techniques to convey lighting effects
  • And lots more!
Cancellations must be in writing in a letter or email to the workshop contact. A full refund will be given if cancellation is received by the contact 14 days prior to the start date of the workshop. Refunds after 14 days prior to the workshop will only occur if the Tucson Pastel Society cancels the workshop due to low participation. Payments made through PayPal will be refunded prior to the 14 day deadline minus the PayPal fee.
If Covid-19 is still active in the fall at a level where gatherings of 20 people are considered unsafe, we will cancel or reschedule the workshop and you will have the choice to get a full refund or reschedule.
