Oil Painting Workshop
Jan 27-29 in Huntsville
HAL will be sponsoring a 3-day Oil Painting Workshop January 27-29 at Valley United Methodist Church, 1410 Drake Ave., 9:00am to 4:00pm each day.
The workshop will be conducted by Mr. Troy Crisswell. Troy works in both oil and watercolor. He began his art career as a graphic artist in 1979 at the age of 27. After 12 years in graphic design, he became a self-employed artist in 1991. His work is a unique combination of classical ,graphic and surreal styles. Two examples of his work are included below. More of Mr. Crisswell’s work can be seen on his website at www.troycrisswell.com.
Each morning he will conduct a demonstration and discuss the various methods and styles that he is using and the ideas behind them. These will begin with the development of tonal backgrounds and move to the incorporation of objects and figures into the painting. He incorporate graphical elements within the composition and discuss related techniques.
During the afternoon sessions students will use the ideas from the morning session to develop their own paintings. The workshop is intended for students with some experience in oil painting but you can expect a pressure-free atmosphere where you can try out anything you like. Students are encouraged to ask questions at anytime.
Price of the 3 day workshop is $250. Enrollment is limited to 12 students. To sign-up, contact the Huntsville Art League at 534-3860. Payment is required by January 21, 2011. Checks should be made payable to Huntsville Art League. A minimum payment of $100 is required to reserve a place in the workshop.
A list of supplies and directions are available at Huntsville Art League or online at www.huntsvilleartleague.org . We hope to see you on the 27th!
