photographs. He'll cover how to create a thumbnail blueprint for your painting, how to use an under-painting for both speed and dynamism, and mass in the big shapes of darks, middles and lights to stay loose and fresh. He will reveal how to refine the painting without losing the freshness, sharing a set of critical questions we must ask ourselves to ensure that we don't overwork our paintings while bringing them to a finish.
Bio: Alain Picard earned a BA in illustration from Western CT State University and went on to study at the Art Student's League in New York City. Picard cites Sargent, Degas, and Sorolla among his artistic influences. A love of light and beauty are immediately apparent in his pastel and oil paintings. Alain's work has been featured in she Artist's Magazine and The Pastel Journal. He's garnered top awards throughout the Northeast and is a Signature Member of the Pastel Society of America as well as the Connecticut Pastel Society where he served as President from 2012-2014. In 2004, The Artist's Magazine highlighted Alain as one of 20 contemporary artists "On the Rise". You can find more information about Alain on his website http://picardstudio.com. Alain's first book, "Pastel Basics," was published in 2013, followed by a series of instructional DVD's in pastel. His newest book, "Mastering Pastel," was released on April 29, 2015. Alain lives with his wife and two sons in Southbury, Connecticut.
Special Guest Lecture
Anne Lilly LectureComplexities of Interaction
Wednesday October 217:00 - 8:30 pm
Newton Free Library
Kinetic sculptor Anne Lilly uses carefully engineered motion to shift and manipulate our perceptions of time, space and energy. Her ordered and precisely constructed interactive sculptures move in strikingly organic, fluid and mesmeric ways. Employing opposing modalities -- analytical and intuitive, rational and emotional -- Lilly's sculptures elicit new connections between the physical space outside ourselves and our own perceptual, psychological domain. They are usually fabricated in machined stainless steel, and require the viewer's touch to initiate movement: pressing clinical qualities against the sensuous response of each piece.

Lilly will talk about her work and its three-way interactivity between the viewer, the work, and the space of encounter. She will explore some of the sources informing the work and its development, issues of skill and craftsmanship, and the roles of planning and experimentation in her process.
BioIn 2013, Lilly received the Barnett and Annalee Newman Foundation Grant Award for Lifetime Achievement. She was a 2015 Massachusetts Cultural Council Finalist in Sculpture, 2014 visiting artist at MIT, 2012 artist-in-residence at the Art Institute of Boston, and was awarded the 2011 Blanche E. Colman Grant. Lilly studied engineeringat Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and holds a Bachelor of Architecture, magna cum laude, from Virginia Tech. She has taught at MIT, Massachusetts College of Art, and the Art Institute of Boston. In a project funded by the NEA, from 2005 to 2007 she collaborated with the DeCordova Museum's education department to develop and administer an annual institute for teachers, using kinetic sculpture to link the instruction of art and science in middle and high schools. Ms. Lilly is represented by Galerie Denise René in Paris, and Rice/Polak Gallery in Provincetown, MA.
