I will be
demonstrating ink and watercolor sketching for this workshop, and I'll
be available at all times to help both painters and photographers with
framing, composition, lighting, planning, correcting for conditions, and
finding the heart of the subject so that participants may work in their
chosen discipline, whether plein air or studio painting, oil,
watercolor, pastel or photography. I will also be happy to share my
(Un)limited palette (the use of only the primaries. (See above)
A firm believer in
“you learn to do by doing”, I will help you find your own voice, develop
your own “eye”, rather than simply showing you a technique or an
approach to copy. I will encourage you to express your own vision and
make suggestions to help you improve your work and achieve your goals as
an artist, whether in painting or photography.
While exploring the beauty of
the Dordogne, you will also explore the beauty and insight to be found
in your own inner responses. ( I last visited there in 1984, and have
longed to return ever since. My visit to the caves was a life-changing
experience.) More on that, when we visit them together.
Both photographers and painters
are welcome, as are all levels from beginner to advanced. Those using
digital will, of course, have the advantage of seeing and discussing
their work at each day’s end.
Students should be familiar
with their cameras, as we will be focused on the seeing side of
photography, rather than on the technical. Be sure to bring along your
manual, just in case it’s needed, and your laptop, if you have one, with
your favorite image editing program.
