Fundamentals of Landscape Painting with John Poon'

April 1 – 5, 2019

10 am – 5 pm

click here to download flier

This workshop will focus on the fundamentals of Value, Color, and Design, which are so necessary in the creation of successful paintings.   
We will paint from reference material as if we were in the field, learning the use of warm and cool tones for unity, and adjusting values to show more air and life into our shadows. 

This approach will enable participants to use photos with a much broader range of possibilities and outcomes. 

All skill levels welcome

Students will learn a reliable,     step-by-step system for completing paintings start to finish which can be applied to both on-location and studio works.  Instruction will include lecture and slide presentation, instructor demonstration, class and individual critique, and one on one time with each student.

Finally - a workshop that deciphers the mysteries of age-old concepts and breaks them down into simple, straightforward, easy to understand principles!

Where: Patris Studio and Art Gallery

3460 2^nd Avenue

Time: 10 am – 5 pm

A very wonderful workshop with Suchitra Bhosle

Thank you Suchitra Bhosle for coming to the studio and sharing your experiences, approaches, techniques, and so much more with us in this 3 day Figure and Portrait workshop Feb. 23-25, 2018.  It was a fabulous workshop and we look forward to having her return early next year!

Wonderful demos each morning to observe and learn from Suchitra's approach and thought process.

Using black and white photographs to focus in on values and edges.  

Working with each student individually to further everyone's skill level.

Everyone working hard and diving in to the painting process.

I'm grateful and honored to have studied under her Suchitra Bhosle this past weekend. 
A truly wonderful experience.
