The workshops below are only open to members of the sponsoring society until January 1, 2012 when they become available to the general public.

Daily morning demonstrations series, in oils from 9:30 am till noon, will give you an opportunity to see how a Master Artist works in a studio setting to perfect his outdoor studies and bring life to his photographs. The workshop is geared to all levels of artists.

Participants can work from their landscape photographs and/or outdoor studies. During the first two afternoons, Albert will give individual help in the studio at each artists easel, to help you achieve better studio paintings, the third afternoon, weather permitting, we will paint on location at Shady Lakes with its incredible variety of subject matter. The workshop will include daily critiques and artists can paint in any medium. For additional information on Albert Handell please visit his website at www.alberthandell.com.

In addition to sharing with you technical applications that Terri considers essential in creating rich, vibrant & fresh paintings...she will also address the philosophical aspect of realizing what you want to convey and remaining true to your initial inspiration. Terri will discuss and demonstrate underpainting variations that include monochromatic value, complementary color and local color underpainting. Terri will demonstrate layering of pastel and building up to luminous light using deep rich color. She will discuss the use of pure pigment and complementary color as opposed to "white lights", to convey light and mood. She will also emphasize keeping paintings fresh and avoiding the pitfalls of overworking. Terri will provide individual instruction at easels and conduct group critiques throughout the workshop. This workshop will be held indoors at the venue of the 2012 MasterWorks of New Mexico. Terri Ford is a knowledgable and enthusiastic instructor.
