His workshops are a place to learn, laugh and have fun in the process, so bring your sense of humor!

After the demo students will work from the model and Terry will be around to help at their easels. There will be a lunch break and work will continue.

with Diane Rappisi

Fee $200M $220NM plus model fee (tbd before class starts)
"A drawing is won or lost in the first minute," according to Deane G. Keller. Based on that premise, this workshop provides a process for creating strong foundations for your drawings and paintings by capturing gesture and composition at thte very start. This approach improves draftsmanship and is applicable to figure, landscape and still life. In this workshop, the emphasis will be on dynamic energy, gesture, shapes and proportion. Whether you are starting anew, or strengthening your existing skills, this intensive workshop with a live model will provide the opportunity for multiple sketches from poses ranging from 1 minute to 2 hours. All levels welcome. Please be prepared to work in either charcoal (recommended) or grisaille.
Supply List:
19 x 23" sheets of Canson Mi-Tientes (moonstone)
Drawing board/clips
Vine charcoal
Stumps
Viva paper towels
chamois
soft rage (an old t-shirt is best)
THE POWER OF COLOR IN FIGURE PAINTING
with Diane Rappisi
Friday - Sunday April 27 - 29 9:00 am - 4 pm
Fee $300M $320NM plus model fee (tbd before class starts)
Do your figure paintings seem muddy? Can't seem to make your skin tones glow in that portrait? The secret to success lies in understanding and expressing color relationships. This workshop examines color using both still life and the figure. Emphasis will be on short studies on the first day, with the opportunity for longer studies on the last two days. All levels welcome. Please be prepared to work in oil; having the full set of recommended colors will enable you to mix the broadest range of colors.
Supply List:
4-6 stretched canvases, toned Neutral Gray *(sizes 12 x 16, 14 x 18 or 16 x 20")
#2, #4 & #6 filbert brushes (at least two of each)
palette knife
odorless mineral spirits / jar
palette & oil colors (**see below for list of recommended colors)
Viva paper towels
small stool or table to rest palette
Golden Acrylic N6 Neutral Gray heavy-body paint & a 2 or 3 inch brush (for toning canvases prior to class)
**Recommended Colors (Winsor Newton recommended unless noted; no student-grade paints such as Winton):
Titanium White
Alizarin Crimson
Burnt Sienna
Permanent Rose
Perylene Red (Gamblin)
Cadmium Red Deep

* Acrylic primed and toned stretched canvases are recommended. Canvas should be toned in advance and allowed to dry for at least a day.
To tone canvas: dilute some of the Golden N6 paint with water, approximately 2 parts paint to 1 part water. Apply the mixture to the entire canvas using a 2 or 3 inch wide brush. When the surface is covered, make sure the paint surface is smooth and even by lightly dragging the brush through the paint from one edge to the other across the entire surface. The finished canvas should have a uniformly smooth gray finish. Be careful not to apply the paint too thickly because it reduces the absorbency of the canvas and makes it harder to apply the paint evenly.
