"A Love of Community, A Passion for Art"

 The Front Porch

Just a generation ago, families gathered on the front porch to escape the confinement and heat inside.
The front porch served as a place where a better tomorrow was dreamed, a place where neighbors and strangers were greeted with a friendly wave and life was discussed and lived.

We invite you to listen to the conversation from our virtual Front Porch of Oak Park as Patris and Jessica talk about
art and the Oak Park community.

David Shevlino 2022 Figure and Portrait Workshop

David Shevlino

Oil Painting Workshop:  

Alla Prima Figure and Portrait Painting

March 24 – 27, 2022 

click here to download workshop flier

Time:   10 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. 

Where:  The Patris Studio and Gallery

 3460 2nd Avenue, Sacramento, Ca 95817

Contact: artist_patris@yahoo.com  

 

Workshop Tuition:  $600 (includes model fees)  

 

What:  This workshop is about painting the figure and portrait alla prima (wet into wet) and the techniques used to create a fresh, direct response to our subjects.   

 

There will be painting demonstrations and lots of class time for students to work from a live figure and portrait model.  

 

The class will work on a different painting/pose each day of the workshop and learn to simplify and interpret the figure/portrait as a series of basic shapes and planes described by light and shadow. 

 

In addition to discussing technical concepts like value, color, paint application and basic proportions of the head and figure, we’ll also talk about some of the psychological aspects of learning to paint, such as giving ourselves permission to experiment and make mistakes so that we can learn and discover ways to become better, more creative artists.    

 

This class will be particularly helpful for those who want to expand from a tight painting style, to a more loose, economical paint application.

2022 Sarah Sedwick Painting Workshop: Loose Realism For All Levels!

 Loose Realism For All Levels! Waitlist ONLY

3 day painting workshop 

With Sarah Sedwick

March 4-6,  2022

Paint looser and more confidently during this three-day workshop with Oregon artist Sarah Sedwick! Take a step-by-step approach to alla prima oil painting, from black-and-white studies to brilliant color. Build beautiful compositions with life and movement for a new perspective on the still life. 

Instead of struggling with overworking your paintings, practice STOPPING SOONER to keep the freshness you crave in your work!

 Working with a split-primary palette of six colors and white, you’ll learn Sarah’s favorite painting exercises to warm up for a studio day, get back into the groove after some time away from the easel, or simply shake things up!

 Explore how limitations can set you free, creating a painting in 20 brushstrokes, and another in 20 minutes. Learn the fundamentals of good design, and walk step-by-step through Sarah’s alla prima process, creating a still life painting from start to finish! Sarah will demonstrate, and work with each student individually. 

Painters of all levels are welcome. Instruction is in oils, and acrylics are welcome - particularly Open acrylics, that stay wet longer. (Ages 15 and above).

Where: Patris Studio   3460 2nd Avenue    Sacramento, CA 95817  

Registration: $475

Beginning Portraits Part 2

 with Patris Miller (sacfinearts.org)

CLASS DESCRIPTION:

If you’ve tried your hand at portrait drawing, you already know it can be difficult to get the results you want.  It can seem overwhelming and can leave you wondering where to even begin.

 

Successful portrait drawing is a skill that is learned, practiced, and honed.  With knowledge, practice, and guidance we can learn how to develop portrait drawing skills that lead to more satisfactory results.

 

In these Beginning level 3-part classes, we will take a closer look at helpful proportional guidelines for establishing realistic portraiture, facial features and characteristics, and creating portrait drawings from photo ((or live model) references using the skills and ideas introduced in each series.
