zoom demo with

Cindy Crimmin

Savoring the Glow

Wednesday June 12, 2024

* 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm Pacific *

This demo will focus on vegetation in the landscape and the ways in which light bounces off of objects or passes through them to create a glow. We will begin with the role underpainting plays in both composition and the recreation of light. Using a more second version of the same image, Cindy will demonstrate how the finishing touches complete the effect.

Having studied the works of Joaquin Sorolla for decades, I never cease to marvel at the skill it takes to capture light. Now, no matter what I’m painting - landscape, still life, waves, portrait- I’m always looking for the light in my subject and trying to hone my own ability to reproduce it. I suspect this is one of those quests that will never end for me!

Zoom Demo with Elizabeth McGhee — Poppy in Colored Pencil

Wednesday May 8, 2024

 * 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm Pacific *

Colored pencil can be as rich and smooth as oil paint, or as delicate and subtle as watercolor. In her zoom demo Elizabeth McGhee will go over the special materials and tools she uses for her colored pencil technique, and will show how to render a poppy from start to finish.  Viewers are invited to ask questions along the way!

A native of southern California, Elizabeth McGhee has exhibited at the Festival of Arts in Laguna Beach since 2010.  Her work has been displayed in museums and universities across the country, and she is both nationally and internationally collected.

Paso Robles Dawn Demo — From the inspirational photos Patty takes and manipulates, the decisions made before a pastel touches the paper,  the trials and tribulations of mark making, to the final bits that (with any luck) bring it all together.

In her work, Patricia Prescott Sueme, PSA, IAPS-MC, celebrates nature, focusing on nuances and small joys. She finds simple compositions that lie within larger ones, manipulates light and strategizes texture, drawing from nature’s palette. Creating an interesting, calm, contemplative respite for the viewer is her goal. Hunting for exquisite examples of nature is a sweet part of her process. Then, once in the studio, pouring over photographs, the creative side takes over, and turns these canyons or clouds or trees or seas into color, form, shadow and texture, and often rearranges the composition into a new order.   www.prescottstudio.art             @prescottstudio
