2 DAY PERSPECTIVE WORKSHOP

Perspective does not have to be a frightening process to overcome. Perspective is most important in the creation of any painting or drawing. I have been teaching my methods for many years and they are easy to understand for both beginner and advanced students. I will reference my book on this subject, Photographic Perspective Drawing Techniques. We will work with many examples taken from the text book. The techniques of understanding the fundamentals of perspective will be examined carefully in the course. Using perspective “lines” from “vanishing points” found on most photographs will be the basis of our studies. Tracing paper overlays with pencil line work will be closely examined in much detail.

4 DAY WORKSHOP – ACRYLIC

Free your abstraction in an unconventional space! This workshop offers a premiere opportunity to create an abstract series using our 1925 Fieldhouse (a vintage gym) as your studio! This amazing, inspiring space is perfect for creating work in as large a format as you want, with hands-on intensive assistance. Participants create their own abstract series by learning how to paint three or more paintings a day. We will use acrylic paint and “loosening up” exercises to liberate intuitive creativity. Discussion of color theory, composition and suggestions for creating your own “painting process” will also be provided. There will be daily meditation and demonstrations in the workshops. Brenda Hope Zappitell (zappitellstudio.com) Born in 1964 in South Florida. Zappitell lives in Delray Beach, FL with her family. She creates abstract expressionist works not only born out of intuition but also serendipitously influenced by nature and life experiences. Her work is in both private and public collections, including MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, The St. Regis Hotel in New York City, The Hard Rock Hotel in Tampa, FL, The University Of North Texas Business Leadership Building and The Boca Raton Museum of Art. She is represented in galleries all over the US and has participated in solo and group exhibitions in NYC, Los Angeles, Santa Fe and New Orleans as well as in other locations.

Release your frustrations on painting surfaces like leather, fur, marble, stone, the human figure and the atmosphere all within your painting. You will learn how to break down these challenges by using fun and easy techniques along with a better understanding of seeing and applying this to your painting. Each student will have the choice to work from photographic reference or from life.

The Creative Arts School invites artists at all skill levels to an exciting, new oil painting workshop with instructor, John Grande.  Explore the process of breaking down a painting into its simplest form by working monochromatically.

As John explains, “I know – I know. NO COLOR? This was my reaction when my professor told my class. Though I was hesitant, I found this to be amazingly helpful and one of the most important tools to understanding structure with painting.”
