DESCRIPTION

This studio-based painting workshop will focus on painting waves and water scenes. Learn to paint seascapes and capture atmosphere and time of day.

The class will cover the basic principles of using oils to paint seascapes. Discussions and lectures on basic composition, massing, building form, light and shadow, capturing depth (near and far), developing atmospheric distance, and -- depending on your own style -- knowing when a work is finished (learning how to not overwork your painting). Students will work in their own style and technique so that the finished work is their own.

Douglas will overview his palette and the concepts his work entails. After a brief morning intro and adequate time to mix and set up the palette, Douglas will demo a seascape and have the class follow along. Much time will be allowed for individual discussion and review in a systematic rotation. Depending on the skill level of each student, students will grow and develop at their own pace. Demos and individual discussions/instruction will help each student begin to reach the preliminary goals they are striving to meet.

What to expect:
Plan to produce several studies and at least one larger painting. Bring a notebook/sketchbook and enjoy some demos along with some great stories to help you remember these principles that are the foundation of Douglas’ teaching.

Douglas David has painted his way across the country, capturing the beauty and spirit of the things he loves - tranquil country landscapes, sunrises and sunsets on his favorite beaches, a simple pitcher of spring lilacs or peonies, a lemon, lime or a slice of watermelon on a checked tablecloth. Paintings that reflect comfort, warmth meaning and simplicity: similar to everything important to him - his close knit family, life-long friendships, creatively fulfilling work and giving his best. A recipient of numerous regional and national awards and honors, Douglas’ teaching is a way of giving back and sharing some of his journey with those who choose to study with him.
