 Jack Faragasso
Landscape Foundation Workshop
$250 (5 sessions)
Monday–Friday, July 6–10, 2009
8:45 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
This workshop is intended for intermediate and advanced painting students. Enrollment is limited to 11 students.
A unique landscape painting program conducted in the studio to re-orient 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 and 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
This workshop has been underwritten through the generosity of Gregory Belok.

Watercolor and the Figure: Painting Light in Contemporary Realism
$400 (5 sessions)
Monday–Friday, August 10–14, 2009
8:45 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
Enrollment is limited to 12 students.
“The object-based painting of the model derives its freedom from the immediacy of watercolors to draw out the spontaneous nature of the medium with its interaction to the surface. This frees the creativity of the artist while searching the true nature of the figure at hand.”
This workshop will cultivate both the technical and expressive nature of the individual student’s approach to painting the model in watercolor. Focus will be placed on the importance of understanding color, compositional form, space and line, as it appears through the transparency of the medium to produce light over the form. Building on the student’s visual vocabulary, an immediate response to the model will be developed into longer, studied figurative poses. In addition to studio practice, discussion will involve addressing the present role of figure painting in the art world today.
A signature member of National Watercolor Society and Transparent Watercolor Society of America, Naomi Campbell teaches at the Art Students League of New York and has judged, juried and lectured at numerous colleges and art organizations in New York. She is published in art magazines and books and has contributed to art journals. Exhibiting nationally and internationally, in national and international collections, she has won many accolades for her work. Ms. Campbell also works in oil, pastel, acrylic, printmaking and sculpture.

The Art of Transparent Watercolor: Fall Landscape
$400 (5 sessions)
Monday – Friday, November 9 – 13, 2009
8:45 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
Enrollment is limited to 10 students. The instructor will be present each day.
The subtle nuance and expressive flexibility of watercolor painting makes it an ideal medium for landscape and cityscape subject matter. Working over an initial graphite drawing, students are taught to layer transparent washes of pure color in developing light, mass and texture within a painting. Each class will commence with a lecture or demonstration, or both, taking the student through the entire process of creating a painting. This workshop will be held in the studio and will feature late fall subjects appropriate to the season.
Frederick Brosen’s watercolors have been the subject of numerous one-person exhibitions at galleries and museums across the country, most recently at Hirschl and Adler Modern (November 2008) and at The Museum of The City of New York (November 2005 – March 2006). In 2005, a book of his New York City paintings, Still New York, with essays by Ric Burns and Alan Feuer, was published by Vendome Press. He has taught numerous classes at the Art Students League and the National Academy.
