Pastel Class information:
Learn how to create strong paintings through sketching, dynamic underpaintings, use of rich color. There are daily demonstrations, plenty of critiques and at-easel assistance.
*Sonoma County Plein Air and Indoor workshops based at my fabulous new straw bale studio in Cotati, California, southern gateway to the beautiful Sonoma County Wine Country.
Indoor workshops: We work from photo references provided by students or by the instructor.
Plein Air Workshops: Four days of painting on location in and around Medford, Oregon.
Stressing high contrast in value, shape, color temperature, texture and detail,
Clark will talk about and demonstrate choosing an enticing scene, creating the most powerful composition using a viewfinder, value sketching, and editing.
The first morning we’ll meet indoors to go over handouts and discuss the workshop. The remainder of the time, we’ll paint on location. Through numerous demonstrations, Clark will show his vivid underpainting technique, how to successfully navigate middle stages and tips to completing a rich and eye-catching scene using soft pastels (other mediums welcome.) Artists will have plenty of time to work on their own landscapes with ample at-easel assistance from the teacher.
Group lessons: I also hold twice monthly group lessons in my studio in Cotati, California. cost: $160 for four sessions (two months)
Private sessions by appointment. Possibilities include painting indoors or outdoors, critiques, demonstrations, consultations. cost: $40 per hour, two hour minimum
