Workshop is full – email admin@whidbeyislandfas.com to be put on the wait list
​
In this three-day course, you will learn not only the traditional method of establishing value, and exploring color, but also what to look for in your subject that will breathe an extra bit of life into the portrait.

In this workshop we will work in an alla prima style where students will learn the stages of oil painting. The process will be streamlined to expertly capture and maintain the strongest impression of the subject as possible, in the fastest time possible.

Students will be welcomed to the course with a painting demo and Q&A followed by a day of painting. A nice balance will be maintained through the workshop of allowing the freedom to work and explore individually, and tight supervision so you’ll always feel comfortable and confident.

Students will bring their own images of the portraits that they’d like to paint

Loose Realism: Painting the Still Life in Oils with SARAH SEDWICK
​April 21 – 23
$575
Skill level: all levels
​Paint looser and more confidently during this three-day workshop with Oregon artist Sarah Sedwick! Take a step-by-step approach to alla prima oil painting, from black-and-white studies to brilliant color. Build a beautiful composition with life and movement, and get a new perspective on the still life. Instead of struggling with overworking your paintings, practice STOPPING SOONER to keep the freshness you crave in your work!
Working with a split-primary palette of six colors and white, explore how creating quick studies and using bigger brushes can loosen up your paintings. Learn the fundamentals of composition design, and walk step-by-step through Sarah’s alla prima process, creating a dynamic still life from start to finish!
Sarah will demonstrate, and work with each student individually. Instruction is in oils, and acrylics are welcome – particularly open acrylics, that stay wet longer.

Why is it that we paint and don’t just take photographs when our goal is realism? Because paint breathes life into an image. Each brush mark is made with intention, and the accidents that inherently happen are the cornerstone to a painting feeling alive.

In this 5 day intensive workshop, we will explore how to bring our paintings to life, even when using photography as our reference. This workshop is designed to be different from most figurative painting classes. We will zoom in and scale up from traditional figurative painting, abstracting the body so we can focus on the language of skin. We will work in layers over 5 days to get the most luminous result. This is taught in a very understandable and simple way, and the technique can be applied to many other subjects besides the figure.

Ultimately, this class will be about the dance between intention and impulse, control and abandon, so we learn to create paintings that feel alive, in every sense of that word.

At least some oil painting experience is recommended but not required.

Directed by David Ossman with Jim Carroll as The Narrator, Mark Twain is arguably our most famous American author and humorist. He was also an important and influential social icon. Timely Twain opens with the witty storyteller. Later, we see him use his podium to deliver his wry political and social commentary. Finally, the numerous tragedies in his personal life appear to lead him to a darker, disappointed cynicism.
Samuel Clemens followed every personal tragedy with surges of creative energy and productivity. There’s no doubt he would have done so again but for an appointment with Halley’s Comet in 1910. With faith in Clemens’s indomitable nature, the playwright gives Captain Stormfield, Twain’s posthumous alter ego, the final encouraging words.

CANCELLED - Whidbey Island Fine Art Studio - Leonid Gervits Painting Flowers/Still Life ​
2023-05-13 - 2023-05-15 | Coffman Building, 819 Camano Avenue, Langley, WA, 98260, United States
Leonid Gervits

Painting Flowers/Still Life
​
May 13 – 15
$625
Skill level: all levels
​
Flowers are one of the most difficult things to paint in art. But as hard as it is, it is also an exciting challenge and pays off in many ways. Human cultures around the world consider flowers synonymous with pure beauty. In painting history there are many wonderful examples of artists trying to capture this beauty (especially in west European art): Manet, Fantin-Latour, Crivelli, Van Gogh, etc.
For the purpose of education, painting florals means much more than painting a still life because flowers are not “dead nature;” they are alive with light and movement, and it can even be said they have personalities. Capturing the countless varieties of shapes, colors, tones and vibrations of the flower is an exciting task for students at any level.
​
Leonid Gervits belongs to the European/Russian realist tradition of painting and drawing. In 1966, he graduated from the Odessa Art College; and in 1973, he received an MFA from Repin Academy, where he later worked as a professor for sixteen years. Mr. Gervits moved to the United States in 1991, working as an instructor at the New York Academy from 1992 to 2000. He has been an instructor at the Art Students League since 1997. An artist of the realist tradition and of serious academic training, Mr. Gervits is able to work in a broad spectrum of genres.
