This 3 day workshop will emphasize the importance of design and value. Learn how to edit in the field and from photos to strengthen your compositions and concept. We will discuss color temperature changes, edge control and how to subtly lead ones eye through a painting. She will demonstrate in pastel, but welcome artists who paint in oil. Some experience working outdoors recommended. Kim’s passages of rich, textural color, woven together in luscious slabs and chunks into atmospheric wholes, are vibrant with the kind of feeling for the physical nature of the medium that ordinarily prompts the use the word painterly to refer to visible brushstrokes. Kim uses the painterly qualities of pastel to explore the light and atmosphere of the California countryside, her images evocative of time and season as well as place. She juxtaposes bright, high chroma passages with more muted colors, misty atmospheric perspective and subtle, color saturated darks.  Location: Orange County, CA; Tuition: $500 click on mail@debrahuse.com if you would like to register or call 949-723-6171  Leslie Saeta November 5-8, 2013 Painting with the Palette Knife and Hottest Marketing Tips Four Day Palette Knife Painting (in the studio and plein air) Four days and Leslie promises you will love painting with a palette knife!
