WEEKEND WORKSHOP: LANDSCAPE MASTER COPY WITH BROCK LARSON

Painting the landscape from nature with its infinite variables can be one of the most daunting of subject matters that the painter can attempt. From the rapidly fleeting light effects to uncomfortable weather conditions, it can sometimes feel overwhelming to know where to begin. Fortunately, a path

has been cleared by master painters before us, and we have the benefit today to learn from their brilliant discoveries. In this three-day intensive course, students will explore the techniques of the great landscape artists to strategize an approach, prioritize information, and simplify details by painting directly from high-res landscape masterpieces. They will also be familiarized with how these skills can be taken out of the studio when painting en pleinair, and how to paint quickly as well as to choose a composition that depicts a clear vision that the painter wants to portray. This workshop is designed to cater toward all skill levels. FRIDAY - SUNDAY, February 14-16, 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Instructor: Brock Larson Limit 14 students $325

Brock Larson (b. 1991) first began drawing at a very early age under the guidance of his father, Jeffrey T. Larson as well as his grandfather, Marvin Espe. He started his approach to academic practice in high school with Charles Bargue plates, master copies, and cast drawings before moving to Minneapolis to pursue a formal education at the Atelier Program of Fine Art. He studied full-time in the twin cities for five years alongside attending workshops. In his final year

of school, Brock began teaching evening classes for two years prior to moving back to his hometown area of Duluth, to help his father establish a similar studio training program, the Great Lakes Academy of Fine Art. Together, they spent two years researching and designing the curriculum before eighteen months of renovating an old catholic church into an ideal studio setting for students. Here, they currently instruct the full-time program and teach workshops.

LANDSCAPE MASTER CLASS WITH MARY PETTIS This workshop by ARC Living Master, Mary Pettis, is especially designed to inspire and inform artists who have a working knowledge of oil painting and are now ready to move towards more personally expressive and masterful paintings, particularly in the art of landscape. Embracing both classical principles and proven plein air techniques from the greatest contemporary schools of thought, Mary is devoted to helping painters open their hearts and minds to their artistic purpose; to give them the advanced tools and exercises that will guide them on their path. Mary’s lectures, demos and critiques will provide insights into: 1) Composing the landscape forms in a simple and direct way, using armatures, and maintaining a powerful expression from the first 12 minutes on; 2) The secrets of accurately capturing light and atmosphere; 3) Knowing how to edit the abundance of outdoor information to create a true impression of sentiment through personal choice of tone and colors, specifically; 4) Avoiding the pitfalls of making your painting too formulaic, illustrative or tight-looking; 5) The tools, tips and a method to perfect the outdoor oil sketch: your “notes to yourself!”; 5) A means to create your own curriculum and goals to carry you forward. FRIDAY - SUNDAY, May 29-31, 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Instructor: Mary Pettis Cost: Morning lecture $75 (May 29th, 9am-1pm); Full workshop $495 Please register early as her workshops always fill (materials list provided).In her work, Mary Pettis, Expressive Realist, draws heavily upon her classical training and Russian influence.
