Learn the Foundations of Plein-Aire Painting
with me at the South Shore Art Center

Finally, we're over it, we are back to our normal Covid-Less class procedures.   Our instruction is no longer under the hindrance of distancing and masks. Although if you are unvaccinated, we do wish that you do wear a mask.

And now with spring and summer approaching, We will explore and work on value studies, composition and format, and various forms of perspective right from nature, in anoutdoor environment!. We will explore the progress to color and the effects of perspective on the expression of spatial dynamics. Instruction will include demonstrations, constructive commentary and critique, and individual support as students explore the painting process. Numerous locations within the Cohasset, Scituate area will be utilized.

This course is an ideal start up (or refresher) that will effectively express various visual motifs �in the field � during the warmer months of spring and summer. Our Spring clsss hasa already begun, but ear mark your calendar for the summer session starting approx the endof June.

Portrait Figure Workshop

I also host every second wednesday evening of the month a workshop at the Ellis House with the Scituate Arts Associciation, a clothed portrait figure workshop. With no instruction, this is a great opportunity to just come paint and draw a 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. During the summer months, I try to hold this event every Wednesday afternoon, this is still just on the agenda, so first, check with me on my e mail, or call me to ensure when the next event is held. The ellis house is at 709 Country Way, Scituate MA. Costs are $10 scituate Members, $15 non-members.

Come Paint With Me

The 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: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWVlpFunfHk

The second video I am producing a still life form the Ellis studio location. 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: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWVlpFunfHk v=a9u3VL3Ddz.

Further taping will include additional plein aire instruction with Robert, as well as water color instruction with Mary Beth LoPiccolo. Numerous one off events sponsored by the Scituate Arts Association will also be recorded.
