Painting Workshop in Mendocino
October 10-13, 2011
Spend 4 days working with veteran painter Kevin Milligan in the seaside village of Mendocino! Kevin has created hundreds of paintings of the historic town and seventy-three works were included in his book, Mendocino: A Painted Pictorial. In this four-day workshop, Kevin will help you create your own memorable paintings and take your skills to the next level.
This oil painting workshop is an opportunity to work on the same painting over four consecutive days. In this exploration, one will work on designing engaging compositions and refining color mixing. Students will be able work in turpentine the first two days and then add medium on the third and fourth sessions. The medium will add body to the paint application and gain dark values.
The Workshop begins with an opening meeting at the MacCallum House Bar on Sunday Evening from 6:30-7:30pm. Wine tasting in Mendocino and a walking tour of the town are other activities on the four-day get-away. The four day painting sessions are from 9:00am-1:00pm on Monday 10th, Tuesday 11th, Wednesday 12th and Thursday 13th.
