Workshop OverviewIn this special condensed 2 day workshop, you will learn to paint dy-namic and exciti ng oils with ease. This really fun and informati ve work-shop will cover the basic principles of oil painti ng and get you painti ng simple and easy to understand objects in a short ti me. The idea of this workshop is to get you comfortable with the process of painti ng while teaching you how to paint dynamic and exciti ng painti ngs. The class in-cludes interesti ng and memorable discussions on all the basic elements of painti ng including, compositi on, massing, building form, light and shadow: and depending on your own style, knowing when a work is fi nished (learning how to not overwork your painti ng). Douglas delivers sound principles of painti ng that are an incredible foundati on for your painti ng, and whether a person who has never ever picked up a brush, a relati vely new painter or a more accomplished painter looking for some strong points to review, it will make sense.

Aft er the brief morning intro, a very hands-on approach to the class, gets students organized and preparing to paint. Students will learn how to set up their palett e with the basic colors and understand why this is helpful. Douglas will overview his palett e and concepts that his work entails and do a subsequent demonstrati on painti ng throughout the next few days for each subject that the class paints. Someti mes the demo is a step by step and someti mes the demo is done fi rst and remains as an example you can follow and reference. There is nothing to be afraid of or self conscious of and Douglas will get you through all the tricky parts and you will have fun.

Students will work in their own style/technique so that the fi nished work is their own. Students will paint simple sti ll lifes which usually includes items like apples, watermelon, eggs and really common and fun things. You will also paint from a photo so you get the idea of what painti ng “en plein air/out of doors” is like, usually we paint a palm tree,

a beach and someti mes a sailboat. Depending on the skill level of each student, students are able to grow and develop at a rate that is to their comfort. Plan to produce a few small painti ngs and possibly one larger painti ng. Plan to bring notebook/sketchbook and enjoy all the demos along with some great stories to help you remember these principles that are the foundati on of Douglas’ teaching.

Douglas DavidDouglas 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. Painti ngs that refl ect comfort, warmth meaning and sim-plicity: similar to everything important to him - his close knit family, life-long friendships, creati vely fulfi lling work and giving his best. A re-cipient of numerous regional and nati onal 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.
