Sally Strand Workshop
THE COLOR OF LIGHT
Tuesday, May 8 through Friday, May 11, 2012

Sponsored by the Lake Country Pastel Society
Held at the New Brighton Family Center
400 Tenth Street N.W., New Brighton, MN 55112

The principles taught in this class are basic to all mediums. Color and light are the focus of the workshop, along with essential elements of strong composition. Students explore color by working from costumed models and/or still life. Optical mixing of layered color, as well as the analysis of the effect of light and substructure of values and temperature are stressed. Each student receives individual attention and critiques. Demonstrations, lectures and a slide show are designed to give students tools to achieve intensely beautiful color.

  • Pastel primarily, all mediums welcome
  • Beginner to professional
  • Instructor demonstrations in pastel
  • Individual instruction, critiques

Tuition is $545 for the 4-day course. Applications must be submitted with a deposit of $150. Balance must be received by March 25, 2012.

Sally Strand Workshop
THE COLOR OF LIGHT 2 - THE NEXT LEVEL
Monday, May 14 through Wednesday, May 16, 2012

Sponsored by the Lake Country Pastel Society
Held at the New Brighton Family Center
400 Tenth Street N.W., New Brighton, MN 55112

A continuation of The Color of Light, this new class will progress to a higher level of painting, beginning with an indepth look at creative compositional devices and how they apply to emotional content. We will focus on the later stages of painting, learning to harmonize color masses while developing the ability to really see and mix color, especially those that are nuanced and subtle. Finally, we will explore the finishing touches that turn paintings into personal statements.

Students will paint from costumed models and still life. Demonstrations, lectures and a slide show are designed to give students tools to achieve intensely beautiful color and light. Previous workshop or intermediate / advanced level recommended.

Tuition is $400 for the 3-day course. Applications must be submitted with a deposit of $150. Balance must be received by March 25, 2012. Prompt registration preferred to guarantee your space in the workshop (participants limited to 18) and confirm our commitment to this artist.
