Alla Prima Painting Techniques
This workshop is designed to give the painter a firm grasp of the thinking behind the techniques involved in painting from life and creating a finished piece in a single session.
The Color of Shadow
There has been no artist in the history of painting who has not struggled with the idea of shadows. What are they? How do I effectively represent them? This workshop will clarify these and other questions.
Transparent and Reflective Objects
What color is silver? Glass? Gold? Do I need special paints to paint these? A solid understanding of the complex nature of these mysterious objects is explained.
What is Color Temperature?
Do colors have inherent temperatures? Is orange warm and blue cool? No! Temperature is a relative thing and can only be understood in those terms. In other words it in the light source itself not the pigments with which we work. Learn to identify and paint these relationships.
What are Edges?
Sounds simple ... until we try to explain it. Edges are the most magical of all the elements of painting. They are what most identify one artist from another. They are effected by and effect the other elements such as color, values and drawing. Get a jump on this most mysterious point of painting.
How to Control Values
Values are how dark or light a shape appears to our eye in relation to those around that shape. In other words a value cannot be defined unless it is compared to another. A mastery of values is essential to getting all the other elements correct in a painting such as color, form and edge.

Kurt uses daily demonstrations and personal critiques to help students energizetheir paintings with both a classical and impressionistic approach to color, brushwork and design.He places emphasis oncapturing “the big look,” the broad masses of light and dark that express shapes and objects that are seen.He immerses students in the challenge of color observation and color mixing - in finding just the right note to makewhateverthey are paintingcome alive. Emphasisis also placed on paint handling and the use of impastotechniques. Students learn how to plan their paintings carefully while at the same time workingalla primaso that the finished work appears more spontaneous. Kurtwill share his secrets from his long study of the old masters and the impressionists to helpstudents reach a new level intheir own personal style of painting.
