In this two-day workshop, students will be taught through a series of targeted exercises designed to teach them to paint confidently using brilliant color, gestural brushwork and strong compositions. Whether you’re a beginner or an accomplished artist, you’ll learn how to:

• see limited values
• mix clean bright colors
• create a value sketch
• economize brushstrokes
• simplify
• start out with large shapes
• work with bigger brushes
• work with thicker paint
• mix colorful grays …and much more!

The most eye-catching, dramatic paintings are based on strong composition with simple, large shapes. Learn how to get your fundamentals in place, right from the start - to create dramatic, brilliant and confident paintings! All levels and all media are welcome. A materials list will be provided. Painting demonstrations will be in acrylics or oils, but the fundamentals taught apply to all media. For a full description go to www.TheArtGuild.org.

About Patti Mollica: Patti Mollica believes that truly great painting is not about the “subject matter,” but rather the way an artist communicates beauty, sensitivity and integrity in whatever is painted. She believes that a painter’s job is to show the viewer the inherent beauty of all subjects and scenes, most especially the ones that are not commonly thought of in an artistic light. Patti teaches workshops around the world. She is the author of three books, Modern Acrylics, Color Theory, and Getting Started in Acrylics available on Amazon.com and in art stores worldwide. She also has three videos available on NorthLightShop.com.
