FALC Students-Spring Session

Aside

Fine Arts League of the Carolinas , 356 Depot Street, Asheville.  Winter session opens on January 22, 2012. I will be teaching Still-life – Landscape, beginning in the studio and then working outside, weather permitting.

The core course is designed to establish skills in oil painting, understanding color and paint application, developing a vocabulary to explain observation and memory working from life and plein-air.

Because I will be at Folk School the week of January 22-29th, 2012, we will meet at Fine Arts League of Carolinas at 1pm on January 21st to get you started.  Please contact me if you have questions!

I have been teaching at Folk School for over 20 years and it’s a marvelous experience with a beautiful campus, even in winter. Located in Brasstown, NC just north of the Georgia border in western corner of the mountain region, the valley is full of fantastic views with several historic buildings. Known as a heritage craft and  regional music school, and founded on Danish rural education principles, it’s a really vital and inspiring community.  This is an intensive, with lots of time in their functional and comfortable painting studio. There are still spaces available and I’d love to work with you to show you how to work big!
