plein air painter - February FEATURE artist

Kathy Cayer Daigle

 

 

Artist Statement

It was on a trip to Venice that I first discovered the extraordinary paintings of the Spanish artist, Joaquin Sorolla. I was fascinated by the luminosity in his paintings. I knew instantly that I too wanted to try to evoke the emotions one felt when viewing his work. The way the light and movement made his work come alive mesmerized me. It was breathtaking!

International Plein Air Painters November Feature Artist
BARBARA CHURCHLEY, IPAP

FEATURE ARTISTArtist Statement

Barbara Churchley’s paintings reflect her personal connection with the western landscape she lives in. Her paintings in pastel and oil are interpretive and expressive. Her passion for the outdoors has taken her to the summit of all 53 ranked 14,000’ peaks in Colorado. She has explored the landscape “up close and personal” through multiple marathons, hikes, and backpack trips. Churchley finds inspiration painting en plein air in western Colorado where she lives, to the far corners of the world where she frequently travels, pursuing her other passion of birdwatching.

Myrtle Beach , SC en plein air painting workshop - April 25 & 26, 2009

Join us in beautiful Myrtle Beach, SC for 2 days of plein air painting
April 25 & 26, 2009
Oil Painting and acrylic plein air workshop.
South Carolina click HERE
Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 am to 4:30pm
Locations will be in the vicinity of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Come join us as we paint the quaint towns,marshes and Carolina pines.

Workshop will concentrate on grisaille - working a value plan directly on your canvas.

Ever wondered why your finished painting doesn't quite match your
'minds eye vision' that you had when you started your painting ?

Insure a dynamic composition before your brush hits the color.
Learn to go for the drama in your painting !
This special 2 day workshop is only $250.00pp (reg pricing $275.00 for a 2 day workshop)

Workshop 2 day- Title : Problem solving ‘on your feet’ en plein air painting

Description :
2 day working on location workshop to help you achieve drama in your painting. Demo/lecture each morning.
You will learn to ‘bake the cake ‘before you applying the frosting.
Ever wondered why your finished painting bears little resemblance to the excitement you felt when starting your painting ?
Students will work on location and complete 2 12x16 or smaller paintings per day.


Goals :
What you can expect from this workshop
Students at the end of a 2 day workshop will be able to recognize a strong composition and see values using grisalle. This will enable you to make decisions when doing problem solving on your own, painting on location.
Grisaille studies, directly on canvas will enable you to commit to a composition and value plan instead of constantly adjusting your values and shadows, commonly known as ‘chasing the light’. This eliminates the also common fragmented, unfocused painting.

Experience level : Beginner to Intermediate

Prerequisite Student Skills: It is suggested that beginners have the experience of at least one drawing course.


Student Required Materials: The workshop is taught using a limited primary color pallette. A complete list of suggested oil & acrylic pigments is supplied. Canvas board or stretched canvas 12 x 16 or smaller. A support for canvas and carrying materials. Incidental list also provided. A painting umbrella is strongly suggested.

Class maximum : 15 students

PLEIN AIR MAGAZINE

Colleague Plein Air Painters,

For years, I have personally heard rave reviews from many of you in person, via email, by phone and regular mail about Plein Air Magazine. Whether you were a subscriber or not, ever saw it or not, artists and galleries from everywhere were (and are still aware) of this most respected publication - and were saddened at its passing.

We now have a grand opportunity to let the publisher (who seeks our opinion and thoughts) offer our collective “voice”, and most of all of our support (or not) of bringing back Plein Air Magazine. Certainly there would be changes. Nevertheless, I remember the days of what I have always felt was our “Camelot” - when for the one bright shining moment, plein-air painting was put on the map in earnest.

The magazine promoted our plein-air heritage (which many of us never knew about), with features about masters of the past, present and future, along with artists getting out of their studios to discover painting on location for the first time. My personal observation was that the magazine had a direct and indirect impact on the plethora of professional and local groups rising up around the U.S. and the globe, collector education and more.

Please join me in this effort to MBRING BACK PLEIN AIR MAGAZINE.
I can only reach the contacts I have here on FaceBook. But you can expand that reach on behalf of us all. Please pass the word about this group.

Together we could spark anew, the fervor, quality and advancement of plein-air painting in all media and genre for generations to come.
