Jack Fa ragasso
Landscape Foundation Workshop
$400 (5 sessions)
Monday–Friday, July 26–30, 8:45 a.m.–12:30 p.m.
Enrollment is limited to 11 students.
A complete and unique landscape painting program conducted in the studio to reorientate your vision to see nature’s values and colors more accurately. Students will be given all necessary information that will prepare them for painting outdoors through lectures, visual examples and exercises in black & white, and color. Topics will include: painting technique, the landscape theory, value theory, color theory, chroma theory, the “three basic days” (including light and dark versions), progression to the horizon, atmospheric progression, trees and foliage, palettes (for landscapes, skies, clouds, mountains, dawn/dusk, stormy skies, sunrise/sunset, autumn/winter), water and streams, the color note, the color sketch, and the final painting.
“One must learn how to see, how to think and how to do. Seeing is different than looking, for much of what we look at is illusory. One must be made aware of these illusions and learn to see and paint nature correctly. This is accomplished with a completely related system where every aspect of drawing and painting is revealed and taught.”
Jack Faragasso has been teaching drawing and painting in the traditional academic manner to both beginning and advanced students at the Art Students League since 1968. Mr. Faragasso studied at the Art Students League in NY and at its Woodstock summer school with the late Frank Reilly, where he learned how to paint landscapes and the figure outdoors. He has enjoyed a lengthy career as a fine artist, illustrator, teacher and writer, and his paintings are in numerous public and private collections.
