About the Workshop
The Richeson School of Art is pleased to announce the offering of a workshop in 2012 by nationally acclaimed artist Alan Flattmann. He will conduct an intensive five day workshop covering step-by-step fundamental techniques for painting landscapes and cityscapes with oils and pastels.
The workshop will cover the basics of sound representational painting. Flattmann will discuss the challenges of working from photos and painting on location. He will demonstrate how he creates bold pastel paintings with a multi-layered technique on pumice and sanded papers. Oil demonstrations will cover both brush and palette knife painting. There will be a special emphasis on ways to improve drawing and compositional skills and on methods of completing paintings within limited time. In addition to daily demonstrations, students can expect individual attention with informal critiques throughout each day. The workshop will take place at the Richeson School of Art and (weather permitting) on location in nearby towns.
