Dramatic Light and Shadow

July 9-12, 2010 -- $360 -- $50 deposit

4 days of Intensive study, practice and creation of Dramatic Light and Shadow  Find the powerful effectiveness and success of utilizing shadows that conform to the shape of the object they fall on, hard and soft shadows, shadows from outside the page, shadows that vary in color and value and the reasons why……and my personal favorite – REFLECTED COLOR.  See the attached photo to view a good example.  In addition, we will explore photography and/or value sketches as the first critical step to a successful painting.  Come join the FUN and allow light and shadow to create rich moods and atmosphere in your paintings.

14 Days in Beautiful Italy----
Cinque Terra and Umbria/Tuscany Workshop

May 8-21, 2011
Sign-ups in June 5, 2010....

 

 

Are you interested in painting the rich Sienna hilltops and green fields of Tuscany and Umbria? Join Cathy Quiel on an Italian Artist adventure and paint fields of vibrant red poppies, hill top medieval towns, flower boxes, lined Italian Cypress and revel in the aroma of fresh bread and olive oil!

 

 

 

We will be staying in the exquisite medieval walled village of Citta della Pieve in Umbria. It has the beauty of Tuscany, but without tourists to hang over your shoulder while you are painting. You are therefore guaranteed peace, tranquility, exquisite views and peaceful painting moments.

 

Citta della Pieve is an excellent base to visit the hilltop towns of Umbria and Tuscany. Our air conditioned and comfortable motor coach will take us to neighboring villages such as Castiglione del Lago, Assisi, Cortona, Pacaino, Orvieto, Cortona, Siena and villages in neighboring Tuscany to paint. On your day off, Florence is 1 hour and Rome is 2 hours by train.

 

With a sense of adventure and curiosity we will be rewarded with unforgettable experiences and wonderful memories of splashing watercolor in Italy.

 

The Artist Adventure is a land package and includes 12 nights, 12 breakfasts, 3 dinners, motor coach transportation, daily instruction, demonstration and individual & group critique and lots of fun and art companionship.

 

Email or add your name to the click board to be on the ‘Interested List’ now. Deposits due June 5,2010. The trip usually fills up the first few weeks so don’t delay to get your name on the interested list for more information.
