OSA Free Demonstration

DAYTIME DEMONSTRATION 

Thursday, January 10, 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

Joanne Radmilovich Kollman
"Alla Prima Painting Getting Ready for Max Ginsburg"


Nicole Poole will be the model for this alla-prima portrait demo. Kollman will have handouts of Max Ginsburg’s palette, sharing how Ginsburg neutralizes the warm 3 value reds with the 3 value greens. Kollman will have her portraits and figure paintings on display from the numerous workshops as well as a Ginsburg original of Tony Kollman, one of OSA’s figure models.
At this alla-prima portrait demo there will be handouts to prepare for Max Ginsburg if you are considering the workshop (February 18-22, see our Workshop registration page for more details). We also highly recommend Max’s Sunday demo, free to workshop participants and $50 to the public. It includes a lecture and slide presentation on Ginsburg’s career and large scale Social Justice paintings.

Painting Alla Prima with Oils on Yupo
Brooke Walter-Knoblich

Thursday, May 10, 11am


Join Brooke Walker-Knoblich as she demonstrates how to use oils on a contemporary synthetic paper called Yupo.

 The slick surface of Yupo allows oil colors to glide like butter over silk and then releases the paint for a fresh, effortless look when desired. Brooke is excited to share her techniques and artistic philosophies to inspire you to experiment in your own creative practices. 

Brooke 's passion for realism comes from her studies in Europe where attended a four-week intensive workshop at the Florence Academy of Art. She earned a BA in Studio Art from UCSD in 2005 and has studied with numerous contemporary impressionist artists.

Free Demo at OSA

JOANNE MEHL

Creating Flesh Tones in the Alla Prima Portrait

SECOND THURDAY DEMO OCTOBER 12, 2017
DOORS OPEN AT 10AM, DEMO AT 11 AM
BUFFET LUNCH 12:15 PM
 
Many artists struggle with creating convincing flesh tones in
portrait and figure paintings. Because human skin reflects light
and color, acute observation of warm and cool tones, and
subtleties in changes of hue are required, along with the ability
to group values, in order to successfully create the illusion of
living skin.

Working from the live model, Joanne Mehl will demonstrate
how to mix color to create a light and dark value pattern, and
how to observe and mix warm and cool flesh tones while
maintaining value groupings.

Joanne Mehl is a fine artist with over 30 years of experience
creating quality artwork for her clients. Specializing in
portraiture, figure painting and equine subjects, much of her
work is commissioned portraits of individuals, families, and the
animals they love; as well as various scenes offered for sale
through her gallery or on her website.

Joanne Mehl Alla Prima Class

Alla Prima Portrait Painting in Oils,  Part 2 with Joanne Mehl

March 13th – April 17th, $240

Mondays, 9:30am – 12.30pm, downstairs studio

This six week course follows and builds on the introductory Jan/ Feb course, but anyone with basic skill in Alla Prima painting is welcome to join and learn more!

In the first course we focused on accuracy in drawing, value patters, and warm and cool color relationships as they pertain to flesh tones.  We will continue working on these aspects of Portraiture while introducing the following ideas:
1. Painting wet into wet using thicker paint and less solvent.
2. Exploring the effects created using brushes of different shapes and materials.
3. Using brushstrokes to help define form ("positioning")
4. Exploring additional textures such as dry brush, transparency and line.
5. Learning to control emphasis, using the amount of detail and value to direct the viewers gaze.
6. Finally, speeding up the process by determining which steps are nop longer necessary and leaving them out. 

Drop in students welcome, but the classes are sequential.

Alla Prima Portrait Painting

Red Hat by Joanne Mehl

Alla Prima Portrait Painting, with Joanne Mehl
Jan. 9 – Feb. 27
Mondays, 9:30 am – 12:30 pm, downstairs studio

$320 for 8 classes ($40 each) / $50 per drop-in class
To register, please call OSA at 503-228-0706
Note: You must be an OSA member to register for classes.

Alla Prima is a wet-into-wet oil painting technique where subjects are painted quickly and in one sitting. Alla Prima is widely used in plein air painting, here we’ll explore and exploit its strengths in doing portraiture with a live model.

Besides Alla Prima techniques, this eight-week progressive course will concentrate on strengthening head drawing skills for portraiture. With targeted exercises and individual attention, we’ll use oils to review the components of strong drawing skills for the first classes, and then paint for the remaining six classes.

A strong drawing leads to a strong painting!

This course is appropriate for novice to intermediate skill levels. It will stress observational skills and construction, rendering anatomy, and composition. We’ll explore how drawing relates to painting, color and value, the effects of light and shadow, tonal methods, various modeling techniques, and how to manage a palette and mix colors.

• Drop in students are welcome, but the classes are sequential.
