Workshop: Painting the Figure en Plein Air in Cortona, Italy

Painting the Figure en Plein Air in Cortona, Italy
May 3-10, 2008 with Kathy Busillo

OPEN ENROLLMENT UNTIL MAY 1ST..... A FEW SPOTS REMAIN

In the tradition of Sorolla, Sargent and Prendergast we will be painting the figure en plein air in Cortona, Italy. Simple scenes from everyday life are a long-standing tradition of the plein air painter. Picture yourself standing under the sun in Tuscany painting with a local model posed before a vineyard or within an olive grove. Other painting sessions will be in and around town where scenes of people going about their daily business abound. A day trip is planned for Florence and the Uffizi Gallery, with emphasis on viewing paintings with the figure in the landscape. Another day will be spent in Siena painting its residents and guests.

*All-inclusive plans, other options available.
For more information please go to Painting the Figure en Plein Air or email Patrick at infotuscany@aol.com with subject heading "Painting the Figure en Plein Air"

WWPO: Pictures and News from Quadra Island, BC

Here are some pictures from our paint out on Quadra Island, BC, Sept 8 and 9, during the 2007 IPAP WorldWide Paint Out.

Firesign hosted a workshop for the paint out weekend to get more people here. First Warren Stenberg was coming but his wife had health problems so had to cancel about a month out. Then my friend Bill Adams said he would love to fill in-then his knee went into major pain so he had to cancel too. Dianne Bersea came to the rescue just a week before the workshop and did a wonderful job of getting everybody painting and having fun.















The weather was fantastic-sunny and not too hot with a bit of a breeze. So we went to Rebecca Spit and the Heriot Bay government dock and got some great paintings. Workshop participants were: Pat Hart, Rosemarie Gall, Laurie Savard, and Christina Munck. Perrin Sparks painted with us for the paint out, not part of the workshop. A few island folk came by Sunday at 3 PM to see our "gallery". Next year, we will have a reception and sale too.

Workshop: Quadra Island, B.C now with W. Jamieson Adams

Plein Air Painting Workshop on Quadra Island, September 7-9, 2007 with Warren Stenberg has been changed!

Warren had to cancel his trip because of a family medical emergency, so Bill Adams has agreed to lead the workshop in his stead. Known in the visual art world as W. Jamieson Adams, Bill is a successful painter working mostly in oils. His subject matter is eclectic, ranging from landscapes to portraits to abstracts and to theatre set design. His work can be found in collections in North America and Europe. The workshop format remains the same. Visit the Firesign Art and Design web site for more information.

This workshop is part of the IPAP Worldwide Paint Out - people are invited to come to Rebecca Spit on Quadra Island to paint and meet us on Sunday afternoon to see the results!
