WORKSHOPS
""WESTERN MOUNTAINS:
DAYTIME AND NIGHTTIME SCENARIOS""
INSTRUCTOR C.S. TALLEY
3 Day Workshop, May 7 - 9, 2024 • 9am - 4pm
The three day workshop taught by C.S. (Steve) Talley will center on painting the mountains of the western USA. The West is known for its rugged, beautiful mountains and presents a great opportunity to learn about painting the artistic elements of a landscape in different kinds of lighting. Each morning Talley will begin with a one hour demonstration in oil pertinent to the day's lessons and students will paint thereafter. The expectation is that students will complete a daytime and nighttime themed painting over the 3 days. Talley will give individual assistance to all students throughout the day. Each day will conclude with a critique of the student's works.
Students will receive a materials list at registration. The MOWA and the instructor will not provide painting supplies. Students are asked to bring their own photo references of Western mountains. Additionally, Talley will have available reference photos suitable for the day's session. The class is open to all levels of painting experience. Oil or Acrylic is the preferred medium. Class size is limited to 12. The cost is $400 per student and daily lunch is provided.
