Open to artists in all media. Ken will discuss strategies for creating better artworks with a variety of common and creative tools. The workshop will focus the strategies for making better artworks, going to new places in your work and how to make fine art. He will use informative videos and pass on strategies not the literature, but handed down from the very best teachers.
We will be going deeper into making better and more appealing artworks with a variety of strategies. After dinner, I will also show you Photoshop techniques Saturday evening for taking your works to the next level and creating better pathways for finishing your artworks. You will be given a Photoshop guide and have access to a large photo file of over 1500 inspiring artworks.
Ken will demonstrate painting using oil and pastel. He will discuss the idea of making strong starts and keeping the way open for more interesting and dramatic finishes. Ample time will be given to live problem solving and creative options.
In addition to making art works, Ken will talk about business and promotion, which are
necessary to be a successful artist in the marketplace.
There will be serious discussions, laughs, and your questions. We will all come away with new tools to take your art to the next level.
For the Workshop / Supply List:
Attendees are invited to bring whatever they wish to paint with and work on. Bring works to
start, works in progress, and finished works to evaluate. There will be a lot of conversation
about the mental aspects of making good art by design and experiment. The mental aspect is
the quickest way to get the breakthroughs to the next big success in your art.
Write out the things you want to get from this class. I’ll be asking for your answer and I’ll
make that a focus
Bring sketches or photos to work from. You may also bring works or photos of works in
progress. Let’s take a fresh look at those – how you got there and how to go further. You won’t
need many images, just a few to begin with. We won’t be pushing to make completed works
during this short time. Rather, we will be looking at making good starts and strategies for going
beyond your comfort level.
Feel free to bring images of your works, including current works in progress and images you want to work on.
Art supplies: Easel, paints, brushes, palette knives if you choose, and minimal supplies and
accessories that you typically paint with. Don’t overload yourself. We can share.
Canvas (large is good: 30 x30 canvas, 30 x 40, 36 x 36 etc.) / or reasonably large paper for acrylic
studies or pastels. Bring the accessories you paint and draw with. If you are coming in from out of town, let us know about canvases you would need and if an easel is required.
Come with your good humor and expect to let go and have fun in a new playground. We will
learn by being open, uncritical (at least for now), and adaptable. After all, we are trying to go beyond what we are already doing.
