WORKSHOPS DESCRIPTIONS AND SCHEDULE

Sally Strand's Color of Light workshop works from live models and still lifes. Here a model rests between sessions.

THE COLOR OF LIGHT

The principles taught in this class are basic to all mediums. Color and light are the focus of the workshop, along with essential elements of strong composition. Students explore color by working from costumed models and/or still life. Optical mixing of layered color, as well as the analysis of the effect of light and substructure of values and temperature are stressed. Each student receives individual attention and critiques. Demonstrations, lectures and a slide show are designed to give students tools to achieve intensely beautiful color.

•Pastel primarily, all mediums welcome

•Beginner to professional

•Instructor demonstrations in pastel

•Individual instruction, critiques


"I sincerely can't remember a more powerful learning experience in my 30 years of painting. You have inspired me and lit a fire." Janeen Schissler


THE COLOR OF LIGHT 2
For Returning Students

A continuation of The Color of Light, this new class is for returning students, beginning with an in-depth look at creative compositional devices and how they apply to emotional content. We will focus on the later stages of painting, learning to harmonize color masses while developing the ability to really see and mix color, especially those that are nuanced and subtle. Finally, we will explore the finishing touches that turn paintings into personal statements.

Students will paint from costumed models and still life. Demonstrations, lectures and a slide show are designed to give students tools to achieve intensely beautiful color and light. Previous workshop or intermediate / advanced level recommended.

“Of all the valuable information you provided us, for me the most valuable was what you had to say about learning to think like an artist. “ Jim McIntyre
