David Shevlino workshop in full swing this week at Patris Studio

During both workshops, David did a demo to help students see his process for all prima pairnting.  He uses big brushes to create energetic brushstrokes and linseed oil to keep the paint thin. 

A somewhat limited palette helps him achieve harmonious color while maintaining a strong value pattern in the painting. 

His block in stages keep the painting loose and open for further development.

We were fortunate to watch him paint this exquisite still life demo on the last day of the first workshop. 

David Shevlino Workshop at Patris Studio


We are honored and fortunate to have internationally known artist David Shevlino teaching at the studio for 2 workshops. 

We were  inspired. intrigued, and interested as we learned more about David's approach to painting the figure alla prima, which is a wet into wet oil painting technique.  
David's loose and confident brushstrokes, combined with his knowledge of color, edges, drawing, etc. had all of us mesmerized as we watched him create this beautiful painting during his demo on the first day. 

And of course, there's nothing like wrapping up a full day of painting at the Oak Park Brewery right around the corner from the studio.  Make Art!!!

David Shevlino Figure Painting Workshops in California!

David Shevlino 
Alla prima figure painting: 
This class is about painting the figure alla prima (wet into wet) and the techniques used to create a fresh, direct response to our subjects.  

On the first day there will be demonstration;  then the class will paint from the model.  Students will learn to interpret and simplify the figure by starting with large, overall basic shapes, then moving to smaller forms.  Next comes a simple block in of light and dark tones, then mid tones.

By learning to simplify form, values and color, we become better able to paint our subjects with greater clarity and directness.

This class will be particularly helpful to students who wish to paint more loosely and to paint their subject with greater economy.

3460 2nd Avenue
Sacramento, CA 95817

Workshop #1  October 15 – 18, 2015

“My exposure to art began as a teenager growing up in NJ near NYC.  I began making trips to art museums in NYC when I was 15 and developed a love of traditional figurative painting. As a youth I found myself especially drawn to the old masters. Those early trips to the museum instilled in me a love of craft and a sense of where painting comes from.”
