UPCOMING WORKSHOPS

 
Painting with the Masters, Old and New Techniques with David Dunlop 
June 26-28, 2017 | 3-Day workshop, Monday – Wednesday | 9 am to 4 pm
$495.00 
Nicole's Studio & Art Gallery | 719 N. Person St. Raleigh NC 27604 |  919-838-8580 | 
This 3-day workshop will have a daily combination of lecture and slides (2-3 hours), demo (2 hours or more, in both oil and acrylic) and student painting (2-3 hours). The following topics will be covered:
Day 1: Painting Reflections, From Shop Windows to Lakes and Streams
Learn how to paint distorted illusions of space, motion and perspective as seen in reflections on water, glass and shiny surfaces like metal, water and glass. Learn how to evoke the complexities of fractured reflections found in moving water, street puddles, lakes, cylinders and spheres (like fruit and ceramics), distortions of perspective found on plate glass windows along avenues. We see how other artists (past and present) painted reflections and their distortions. Demonstrations using oil, acrylics, watercolor and mixed media will be provided.
Day 2: From Representation to Abstraction in Nature. 
Learn new strategies to make more believable landscapes and then how to abstract and expand your expression of nature (from deep vistas to intimate gardens). Learn how to apply methods found in jewelry-making like cloisonné, or guilloche techniques in your painting. Learn new ways to design your pictures by borrowing from other cultures and time in oil, acrylics, watercolor, and mixed media. Learn how to apply new insights from psychology and neuroscience to make your pictures more exciting. Your instructor will demonstrate how to evoke movement and space in your paintings in various media.
Day 3: Contemporary landscape painting. 
We start in the late 19th century with the blurred, dream landscapes of George Inness, Turner, and Corot. To see how they painted and how they evolved into the Impressionists. Quickly, we move into Cezanne to see how he united the biology of vision to the history of art. Next, we learn how to abstract landscapes as did the late 20th century artists. The demonstrations will present these ideas using new tools, materials and techniques. The demonstration will focus on the new materials and tools which range from Photoshop effects in painting to metal and plastic surfaces, to of over-painting digitally printed material, to new tools like squeegees, brayers, and blowers.

800-827-8478 ext. 156
Boost and enhance your artwork with novel and complex patterns and textures in oil, watercolor and acrylics.  Serving both abstract and representational artists you will use varieties of new tools, rubber rollers, squeegees, direct transfer techniques like decalcomania and other forms of mono-printing your images without a press to discover many new patterns and textures in your artwork. Learn to apply multiple layers of effect with these new materials and methods.   Your instructor will provide demonstrations of the new processes as well as personally work with each participating artist.
Suggested Supply List for Painters:
This year I will be painting in my workshops with Charvin Extra Fine Oils, Charvin Extra Fine Acrylics and Lukas 1862 Watercolors and will provide the same artist quality paint brands for my students.  Workshop students are also welcome to use any quality paint brand of special colors that is desired.
For oil painters:  I recommend Charvin's Extra Fine oil paints.
A Few Suggested Colors: Titanium white, Ultramarine Blue, French Primary yellow, Red Oxide, Napthol Red Deep, Ivory Black, Carmine Lake. Think of Rembrandt with this color and the red oxide and black, Pthalo Cyan…Those are the basics…if you want more you could pick up any of a variety of violets( i.e. Intense Violet by Charvin) and, Intense Violet(Charvin) and  a beautiful transparent color Sanguine Brown(Charvin) Diamond Pink(Charvin) or Intense Pink(Charvin)(pink), Imperial green(Charvin)great for ocean painting, a primary yellow deep(Charvin) and, if you want an Impressionist green  try the bamboo green(Charvin) the Impressionists also relied on vermillion(Charvin) cerulean blue(Charvin) cobalt blue (Charvin) and cadmium yellow(Charvin). Finally, if you're interested in capturing the essential color of Tuscany or Provence then Charvin's yellow ochre is for you. Next you will need a medium and I suggest staying traditional and non toxic with just refined linseed oil, poppy oil or walnut oil (although walnut and poppy seed oils yellow less ad give more working time).

MORE INFORMATION

This week of plein air painting will include new directions, techniques and tools for landscape painters. We will work from the panoramic to the close-up with a study of micro environments and subjects. We will invest your artwork with novel and infinite, complex patterns and textures in oil, watercolor and acrylics. Your instructor will demonstrate varieties of new tools, rubber rollers, squeegees, direct transfer techniques like decalcomania and other forms of mono-printing your images without a press to discover many new patterns and textures in your artwork. These novel techniques will serve abstract as well as representational artists as we learn how to work with new materials and methods. 

David Dunlop will demonstrate antique techniques borrowed from stained glass, mosaics and jewelry to create new expressions for flowers, wild landscapes, and other natural subjects. The techniques of micromosaics, cloisonné, and translucent stained glass tinting will give new methods and new looks to your paintings. Learn new ways to use transparent color, simultaneous and successive contrast and proportional color balancing in your work. Here is an opportunity to expand your technical range and discover new pathways for expression with your materials. 

Learn alternative techniques for presenting the complex textures and patterns found in meadow grasses, thick forests, dynamic weather patterns and intimate sun-dappled glens. David will demonstrate the lessons of the Hudson River artists of the 19th century and their influences like Claude Lorraine and J.M.W. Turner. Then, as we move through the 19th century we learn the origins and techniques of Luminism. We will proceed into the 21st century to explore varieties of new visions for landscape painting including alternate forms of landscape representation and abstraction. 

As we visit different locations David will demonstrate these new methods in watercolor, oil and acrylic and mixed media. Every day he will work individually with participating artists to help them advance their skills and discover broader horizons.

David Dunlop is a modern-day old master whose luminous landscapes draw from both Renaissance techniques and contemporary science.  His paintings have been shown internationally and are held in the collections of major corporations including Aetna Insurance, Citibank, Colgate Palmolive, Delta Airlines, GE Capital Corporation, IBM, Mobil and more.
