Winter Workshops You Don't Want to Miss

Winter seems to put many of us into "hibernation mode," sucking inspiration and enthusiasm for creative pursuits into the polar vortex.  WE HAVE THE SOLUTION: Get out of the house and into the beautiful Richeson School of Art studio for a re-energizing workshop! 


Thursday February 5 through Saturday February 7 will find artists learning "The Painterly Way" with former Art School Director TERRY STANLEY. This workshop is all about techniques to become more painterly from start to finish and how to make up for the shortcomings of photographic reference to make your work more vibrant and alive. You'll work from live setups and photographic reference. More information and registration by clicking HERE.  Demos will be in oils, but any medium is welcome. BONUS: Terry will also help you learn how to use your tablet (and app ArtRage3) as a tool for better paintings (optional participation).  Check out Terry's work at TerryStanley.com


Wednesday March 18 through Saturday March 21, Richeson's welcomes one of today's most prominent young artists, DAVID CHEIFETZ who will teach a workshop focusing on Still Life Composition & Painting. David is fast becoming one of the top artists in the country thanks to his amazing color sense, imaginative subject matter and big, juicy strokes made with both brush and palette knife.  This workshop is limited to only NINE participants to insure you get alot of personal at-the-easel instruction!
More information and registration info by clicking HERE. You can see more of David's work on his website. You really don't want to miss this rare opportunity, David's first workshop in the Midwest!

Of course there are other exciting workshops coming to Richeson's later in the year. Check them out by clicking HERE.
