Sergio Roffo, Massachusetts

Learning How to See Nature's Details
Oil, Friday-Sunday,
June 10-12   9am-4pm   $495
Mr. Roffo has won countless national awards and is widely collected. Each morning will begin with Sergio discussing the aesthetic issues and techniques of art as he demonstrates and completes a field study, encouraging the fellow artists to observe. " Sometimes you learn more by observing and memorizing than actually painting. While I strongly encourage the students to observe my demonstration, they will have theoption to paint along side of me." After the demonstration students will receive individual personal instruction and encouragement while completing their painting "Alla Prima" (in one sitting).

Thinking Abstractly For Realistic Paintings
Oil, Monday -Thursday,
June 13-16   9am-4pm $495  
I
n this 4-day plein air workshop, you will learn that we paint most realistically when we are thinking abstractly. Learn how to reduce the charming scenes of Chatham to a collection of abstract shapes that, when put together correctly on the canvas, convey the impression of reality. Simplification, editing, re-designing the scene when necessary,  attention to light source, and painting quickly will be stressed. A limited palette will be used and much attention will be paid to value. The instructor will demo each morning for the group and will offer individual instruction to each student several times a day. By the final day, students will be able to insert convincing figures into their compositions  and approach any subject with confidence.
