“Brushwork and Color Wash Method” with Randy Blasquez

Brushwork & Color Wash Method with Randy Blasquez
clip_image002


Brushwork is important to one's own expression. It brings life to a painting. Although it is only one of the many parts to bringing a painting together, we will focus on the many ways to include dynamic brushwork to a finished artwork. We will start with exercises using the brush and other "tools" on day one, followed by a demonstration after lunch. On day two you will paint in a whole new way, starting with a wash of vibrant color and building to a textural finish that will change the way you paint!
  • Some painting experience is suggested. Class Supply List will be provided.
  • Call Randy if you'd like to talk more about this workshop....
  • Two Days at Patris Studio, 3460 2nd Avenue in Sacramento
  • Saturday & Sunday February 22nd & 23rd -- 9am to 4pm
  • $250. ($225 if you sign up before January 10)
  • Sign Up with artist_patris@yahoo.com or 916-397-8958
  • A $25 non-refundable deposit holds your spot.

Rob on the Road Visit Patris Studio in Oak Park

I would not be where I am now if not for all the people I have connected with on this art path I have chosen. There are too many people to name, but my heart is full of thanksgiving and gratitude to everyone --friends, art students, artist friends, teachers, family,(and my two pups) musician friends, artist models, community members, the young, the old, the rich, the poor, those near and those far away. Thank you for intersecting my life in some way.
Thank you Rob Stewart for visiting my studio for the Rob on the Road segment that airs on KVIE Public TV channel 6.  I hope this segment inspires, challenges, and brings joy to all who watch it.

Announcing Francisco Benitez Encaustic Workshop

Paco image  It is with great pleasure and honor to welcome Francisco Benitez, internationally known master artist, back to Sacramento where he will hold a 3-day Encaustic Workshop at the Patris Studio and Art Gallery in Oak Park.  

Francisco, who resides in both Europe and New Mexico, did his first encaustic painting in the fall of 2005, after years of being fascinated with the medium, but never daring to paint figuratively in it. In the 1990’s, when he lived in France, he discovered a book called the Mysterious Fayum Portraits, by Euphrosyne Doxiadis.  He was mesmerized by these ancient portraits,and  began experimenting with the ancient tools, called “cauteria”, and the four-color palette of the ancient Greeks.


Encaustic is a particularly challenging, yet beautiful 2012-09-17 19.42.13medium, in which to paint and is one of the most permanent mediums known to us.  Participants in this 3-day workshop will experience this ancient and mesmerizing medium as they work under the tutelage of master artist Francisco Benitez.
