Composition Studio for the Serious Beginner - Oil Painting with Virginia Pendergrass
9:30 am - 5:00 pm Cost $145 for 2-day workshop call TC Arts at 884-2787
Composition Studio for the Serious Beginner lead by Virginia Pendergrass is a 2-day workshop for beginning oil painters who want to understand important elements of composition in successful oil paintings as a framework for life-long improvement of their own artwork. After an introductory discussion of the topic of composition, illustrated by analysis of images of successful paintings, the students will have opportunities to apply selected composition strategies in designing her/his own original oil painting. Each student will receive feedback from the instructor and class using the composition concepts discussed at the beginning of the class. Students will use the Plein Air landscape as reference material, unless the weather is inclement, in which case students will paint from their own photos. Cost of the class is $145 for both days. A supply list will be available in July. Call TC Arts at 884-2787 to reserve your spot. Space is limited!
ARTIST’S STATEMENT by Virginia
Pendergrass
As a contemporary impressionist, I strive for identifiable subject matter rendered with loose brushwork and exuberant color to show my experience of the natural beauty of landscapes, still life or figure. I often paint ‘en plein air’ to preserve the freshness of color, light and natural forms, or from life subjects in the studio. ART TRAINING: Art training includes Crealde School of Art, Winter Park, FL; Valencia Community College, Orlando, FL; Old Lyme Academy of Art, Old Lyme CT; Scott Christensen’s Intensive 10-day Workshop. MEMBERSHIPS: American Impressionist Society - Signature Member; Oil Painters of America; Plein Air Florida; Transylvania Art Guild.
