l'Atelier aux Couleurs: the Art Academy
This will be an intense workshop designed for serious painters. It will address fundamental skills necessary for successful fieldwork. Through a series of visual and procedural exercises, we will examine the foundation essential for organizing workable and unique compositions from the wealth of material nature provides.... Emphasis is on learning to conceptualize, simplify and organize value patterns, masses (shapes) and color outdoors.
All demos and paintings are done on location. The goal is to appreciate fully the importance of outdoor painting. This is the most valuable tool the landscape artist has in developing larger compositions in the studio. These studies are the soul of studio work.
Oil primarily, pastel and watercolor accepted
Level: Intermediate to Advanced-Professional
Instructor demonstration in oil
Individual critiques daily
Portable easel and transportation needed
Skip Whitcomb believes that drawing and composition are the soul of painting. An accomplished plein-air painter, draftsman and print maker, Skip studied at the Art Center College of Design, where he received thorough training in drawing and painting. He paints studies on the spot and then heads to his studio in Fort Collins, Colo., for the finished works. He participates in museum invitational shows around the country, including the National Academy, N.Y., and the Gilcrease Museum, Okla., and is a two-time recipient of the Red Smith Memorial Award from the National Museum of Wildlife Art.
Listed in Who's Who in American Art, Skip's work has been featured in articles in Southwest Art, American Artist, and The Pastel Journal. His work can be seen in galleries in Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming.

This workshop teaches students to paint with color to create the many moods and light effects of nature in both landscape, figure and still life studies. Beginning and advanced students alike benefit from this unique approach to color perception.
Students will learn the his...toric (Hawthorne/Hensche) mud-head approach to studying color relationships as it applies to the outdoor portrait and figure. Palette knives will be used to emphasis the importance of the relationships of the large areas of color (masses). Other topics of study will include setting up the action of the figure, relating the figure to the landscape, and the importance of color in aerial perspective.

Color, values, drawing and composition with an emphasis on seeing the big s...hapes and their relationships will be taught through a series of exercises, one-on-one instruction and demonstrations.
Carole Gray-Weihman's Statement:
I am a devoted painter of what some might consider "the Color Visualist Movement" and others the "New American Impressionist Movement"- more specifically, I paint in the "Hawthorne-Hensche Principle". I've been apprenticing under Camille Przewodek, also a former student of Henry Hensche, since July 1996. I've also been her teaching assistant since 2002.

Drawing, proportions, color, value, composition, and form, among other things, are tools one can use to get a solid painting from the model. Al will demonstrate what to look for and how to paint the head and figure in simple shapes to create form. He’ll teach the basic tools to help the student reach that next level.
