A landscape painting can be seen as both a representation and an abstract
composition. In this class we will separate those elements into different
paintings. Students will start by painting a plein air landscape, then
work in the studio on a companion piece, paring the same landscape down
to its bare abstraction. We will cover some basic color theory and guidelines
of composition. Cammie paints mainly in oils, but students may work in
any medium. Painting Provincetown Lisbeth
Firmin This class will follow a long tradition of plein air painting in Provincetown. Students will be painting outdoors in America's oldest artists' colony, working quickly and using big brushes to describe what they see: cars, houses, the monument, the breakwater, tourists, and the occasional dog. These paintings will concentrate on capturing the unique light and energy of a moment in a Provincetown morning. On the first day, the class will meet and paint at the monument following a demonstration by the instructor. There will be an critique at the end of each painting session. Structured for beginners and advanced painters who want to expand their skills. Lisbeth Firmin is a contemporary American impressionist painter/printmaker known for her urban landscapes.

Sal Del Deo Salvatore Del Deo’s strong, individualistic approach to painting the portrait and the figure is deeply rooted in the realist tradition if his early training with Charles Hawthorne, Henry Hensche, and Edwin Dickinson. His skill in both portraiture and figure painting springs from this tradition, which he has maintained with vigor and sensitivity throughout his painting career in a variety of media, especially in that of oil painting. Speaking about the art of portrait painting, he emphasizes the necessity to establish a dialogue with the sitter in order to create the essence of the model on the canvas.

Still Life Beyond Still Life Richard Baker
June 28 - July 2 This is a workshop for painters with a keen interest in still life painting but a strong desire to push past conventional still life setups. We will begin painting a very quick "traditional" arrangement and then we will collectively explore various ways of extending the tradition into unknown territory. We will explore issues of composition (can still life move vertically? can it expand into interior space?) and of subject matter (are there ways of including representations of the human form? what sorts of objects are not usually common to still life painting?). A serious interest in open-ended playful exploration is necessary. Richard Baker attended the Maryland Institute, College of Art and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

I mean paint without all the pressure that one can put themselves under when they are engaging in the creative process. Without the pressure of creating a Hans Hoffman, Jackson Pollack or Milton Avery? To paint for onself and not for a show, a friend, a loved one or the public. In this class we are going to enjoy and appreciate the process and materials used in creating an abstract painting. We will use shapes such as circles, squares, ovals, lines, rectangles, etc. to create this image. We will work over and over an image to see what will appear when one learns to let go and enjoy the act of painting. Denny Camino graduated with a B.S. in Business Management with an emphasis on fashion merchandising at Point Park College and the Art Institute of Pittsburgh before going to New York to pursue fashion design at the Fashion Institute of Technology.

How do I prepare for a new relationship?”), this inspirational, expressive workshop will assist in finding your true, expansive, healed self and unlock barriers to your full creativity.
