This workshop is designed to explore the fundamental reasons behind a painting's success as you create your own masterpiece. Class is March 26, 27 and 28, 10 am to 4 pm daily.
Through informative conversations and step-by-step demonstrations, students will gain an understanding of the interrelated components of painting- including value, shape, color, and edge relationship. You'll be painting right alongside artist Michael Orwick. Each of you will be given personal attention and friendly critiques.

Michael will also discuss the benefits and drawbacks of photo references. He will provide some reference material for you, but you are encouraged to bring your own landscape photos to paint. Michael will emphasize emotion, color, composition, and ways to turn a photo into a spirited painting.
Emphasis will be placed on composition, editing and selection skills as well as clarifying light effects for strong, personal design. You’ll study the power and importance of balance, unity, variety, interest and contrast through the tonal and color aspects of your paintings. You'll also learn about mixing colors from a limited palette while still achieving dynamic light and shadow effects with lively color. You’ll discover how values and temperature work to keep your paintings in harmony.
On Saturday after class (4:30-5:30) a special reception with appetizers and wine is being offered free of charge at Dragonfire gallery for this group.
Bonus: Get ready for painting outdoors with a Plein-air equipment overview and suggestions list.
Weather permitting Michael invite you to join him before and after class to paint the magic of Haystack rock in plein air.
Class is meeting at Cannon Beach Chamber of Commerce building in the beautiful Chamber Hall, 207 N Spruce St Cannon Beach, OR 97110 (503) 436-2623
