Description:

Join us for a fun weekend workshop in the White Mountains at Jackson Art. We will explore how to mix our chromatic color palette and how to mix color effectively from it. It’s easy to make a dark color, like Ultra Marine Blue lighter by adding white, but how do you darken a light color like yellow? How do we warm up a color and how do we cool a color? How do I keep my color from getting chalky? …and much much more. There will be follow along color mixing, along with plenty of discussion and time for all your pressing questions about color mixing. We promise that this will be a most informative workshop and you will walk away with a newfound confidence with mixing color. Class size limited to 10. Students are responsible to bring their own equipment. Let us know if you if you need a studio easel.

Saturday & Sunday, Feb 26 & 27, 10-4, $295 

David Lussier is an award winning contemporary impressionist and nationally recognized plein air painter and workshop instructor. He is a painter in the purist sense of the word. In his poetic and intimate oil landscapes he strives to capture the essence and sense of place of his subject matter. His use of bold broad brushwork brings the surfaces to life and begs the viewer to return for a second look. David started his career as a commercially trained illustrator, but he quickly realized that his passion was in the fine arts. He has been painting professionally for more than twenty five years, has garnered more than 75 prizes for his work and is in numerous private and corporate collections throughout the United States. His work has been featured in many art journals and he is a professional member of some of the finest art associations and groups in the country. David is also an official U.S. Open artist for the United States Golf Association. Four of his paintings hang in the permanent collection of the USGA Museum in Far Hills New Jersey.
