November 20, 2021 Lisa Lofton - acrylic and mix mediaThis class will help the student create a painting using different techniques. The goal will be to create a multi-layered work that evokes a feeling of nostalgia. The instructor will provide historical and more recent images of Florida iconic signage, buildings, and associated souvenirs that will work well with the overall composition. Students are welcomed to bring in souvenirs and images of their own to include in their paintings. (Black and white vacation photos, color polaroid photos, or more recent images, brochures, etc.) We want to make the works personal for each artist. Through sketches from historical references and signs, each student will assemble the subject matter for their paintings. We will also create still life sketches from souvenirs to use in our paintings foreground. The students will learn about using perspective, prepping a canvas, lettering, and transfer of lettering. The use of charcoals and ink. We will learn how much easier painting something is when it is well planned and laid out well. The acrylic painting portion of the class will include information about directional light, mixing colors, tonal importance, shading using washes and much more to create a wonderful multi-layered work.

April 6 – 7, 2022 — Michelle Held OilsJoin this exciting oil paint workshop with Michelle Held. This is a unique opportunity to paint birds and learn to really capture the form and light! Get ready to learn technique and form that you can apply into all your paintings. Michelle will cover design, composition, values, and edges to make a dramatic successful luminous bird painting in oils. We will study bird anatomy, gesture and proportions with drawing and paint, ultimately, we will study the light effects on these majestic birds. Michelle will guide you on your path by helping you infuse heart and passion into your final masterpiece.
Michelle brings with her a splash of vibrancy, a flutter of unique perspective, and the song of nature in its truest form. Born and raised in Maryland, Michelle knew from a young age that she was meant to paint as her career. Passionately working as an artist and business owner for the past 25 years, Michelle has been living out her dreams in Sarasota, Florida. Michelle currently participates in invitational paint outs and is widely collected throughout the United States. Often commissioned for custom paintings as well as murals, Michelle’s passion for wildlife and its ecosystems brought her to embrace the natural world through painting from life.
Michelle believes that evoking a feeling of light, space, and PASSION is the key to any successful contemporary painting. Michelle gives attention to composition, design and value and gives credence to a “go with the flow” attitude. Plein air has set flight to many paint outs, including Easton, Forgotten Coast, Lighthouse Art Center, Sedona and Many more. Recently Michelle won, 2 years in a row, people’s artists choice at Forgotten Coast. She also won the Grand prize in Sedona Paint-out 2020. The real victory, however, has come with her love of teaching. Michelle finds that paying it forward is the best way to fulfill the soul. Taking a note from the birds she so loves to paint, Michelle approaches painting like flight, letting the swells and surges of the wind carry her and her brushes through those brilliant, beautiful skies.
