Join me for a class at the South Shore Art Center
Not only will I be teaching Plein Aire Painting, with the South Shore Art Center, I will be instructing a class in Portait Paintinig and one in Perspective as well. |
|
The following classes I will be instructing for the Winter semester (starting in January ). Please go to the SSAC website, www.ssac.org for registration, information, times, and cost.
PLEINAIRE: (no winter schedule, starts in April, thru November) We will be meeting outside at various points on the south shore, where we will observe and paint (alla prima) natural landscapes. We will concentrate on atmospheric color and perspective, light and shadow, composition, editing a landscape and more. It's an ideal way to continue your learning experience in Plein Air painting to make your artwork really zing! BASICS OF PAINTING: An ideal class in improving and ehancing your painting skills. We will explore different avenues of painting, from simple stiLl lifes, examples of perspective, working on landscapes from photos, to an actual outdoor plein aire experience. We even try portraiture. It's a great way to get a well rounded experience in a variety of genres in painting. The instruction and critic can be applied to your painting, even if you are a beginner, or a advanced artist wishing to brush oup on their skills BASIC PERSPECTIVE! (this is a great class offered in the indoor winter months) Too many times, I have seen students struggle and just not catch the correct perspective within their paintings. This will be a basic course in linear Perspective...using and learning on how to establish correct One and two point perspective, how to cast light and shadow that creates form. The class will also discuss on how color and value can effect a three dimensional look from your two dimensional canvas. If this has been your hang up in your paintings, this may be your answer!!! PORTRAITS: The class commences with working from a photograph to learn the loomis technique of facial structure. We proceed in capturing the value and the subtle color that composes a portrait. At the he third week we compose from a live model, where we can fine tune the color, structure and establish recognition. Learning to do a good portrait can be an excellent foundation for continuing and applying painting skills into all genres of painting ie.e still slife, plein aire, even free form abstract! For More information and registration, please link onto: www.ssac.org Portrait/Figure Workshop
Held Once a Month at the Ellis House
I host a workshop at the Ellis House with the Scituate Arts Association, a clothed portrait figure workshop (and occasionally, unclothed studies). With no instruction, this is a great opportunity to just come paint and draw from a model.. Most sessions are one pose, for three hours. But within that same time period we have held three-one hour sessions as well. Starting Time 1:00 to 4:00 PM. During the summer months we hold the sessions outdoors weekly!I do suggest you call to ensure dates, times any times.
The ellis house is at 709 Country Way, Scituate MA. Costs are $15 scituate Members, $20 non-members. TIMES AND DAYS DO CHANGE, mainly due to availability of models. I email paticipants of oncoming sessions (the second Tuesday.) Contact me through my e mail bob@beaulieudesign.com to be placed on a notification list, or for any further questions or inquiries. Two Videos Demos Performed by Robert BeaulieuThe first was instruction and explanation of the Second Wednesday Portrait Workshop that I host. An interesting view, not only was my work recorded, but Vcevy Stakovlovsky and Scott Ketchum were also featured. It makes for an interesting watch to see how three artist approach their work and create their own separate interpretation working form the same source, the model. You can view it at:

I instruct on a step by step procedure to arrive at my concluded piece. to include a mistake and cover up about half way through. The composition had a flaw in it, and the video shows how I easily corrected it! This can be viewed at: (br)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWVlpFunfHk v=a9u3VL3Ddz.
