Greetings!

We have another wonderful show this month featuring the latest works by Ridgefield artist Oleg Ulitskiy. In 2010 Oleg returned to his hometown of Odessa Ukraine for several weeks to paint the beautiful port city and its incredible architecture. Oleg's latest collection of oil paintings includes many pieces from his Odessa trip and also paintings of his favorite local subjects including several barns, rivers, vineyards and fields from around the Northwest. The show runs March 4th - 26th. The opening reception is on First Friday March 4th from 5 to 9. Come down and enjoy live music, light complimentary refreshments, chat with Oleg and see some great art!

A message from Michael Orwick: Workshop, Cannon Beach June 22-24

Workshop Dates: 6/22/2011 - 6/24/2011
Location: Cannon Beach Oregon The Amazing Oregon Coast 97110

To sign up/Contact Information:

Join Michael Orwick in scenic Cannon Beach, Oregon, for 3 days of painting some truly spectacular scenery.

Cost: $300.00 Dates: June 22, 23, and 24

http://www.facebook.com/MichaelOrwickArts

Put life and personality into your landscapes. We will focus on the fundamentals of landscape painting while exploring the beauty and atmosphere of the area.
10am-4pm (I like to paint the light of morning and evening best and my students are always welcome to join me for informal sunrise and sunset paint outs at no additional charge.)

You will learn the importance of observation rather than using formulas and recipes to paint what you actually see and feel. Through instruction, demonstrations, and critiques, this workshop explores composition and design, value and color harmony, and brushwork and edges. Students will also focus on recreating a some of the atmospheric situations the Oregon Coast offers.

I like to concentrate on the basic elements of painting and will include an exercise or two to reinforce some of the basics that we all need to brush up on from time to time. There will be at least one black & white exercise, and the chance to paint full color studies as well. At the end of the three days there will be time for a discussion about your work and for questions as a group.

The workshop is open to oil painters of any level.

Look forward to Lots of personal painting time and help every day. We'll all learn a lot and have a great time.

Bring photo references in case we have to paint inside due to extreme weather.

Demonstrations will be directed at oil painters, but concepts and principles will apply to all media.
