SIP 2018 Starts up this Weekend!


I can't wait to meet up with the Swimming-in-Paint team this weekend at Crossroads Art Center. This year the team has multiple studio options to fit their busy schedules listed below.

Swimming-in-Paint's 2018 theme and challenge will be painting Mood. The best way to start January is to focus on the sun and its effect on air.

  • Coach's optional paint-a-long (same reference).
  • Explore your favorite subjects on large-format canvas or problem-solve an unfinished work to conclusion.
  • Discover the value of practice studies and working at home between sessions.
  • Learn tips on subject selection presentation, lighting and framing.
  • Choose any number of single-day sessions to fit your schedule.
  • Throughout the year the team will gain recognition for their work with the coach's "WOW" awards, the annual Christmas exhibit of the best paintings, a chance to exhibit at Crossroads during an open house event!

SIP 2017 CHRISTMAS EXHIBIT


"ATMOSPHERIC MOOD"

Artists, Inness, Bierstadt, Monet, Van Gogh painted the sun and often made it a focal point in their work. Each generation produces new masters and a new crop of artists trying their hand painting light and atmosphere. How we choose to render atmosphere is a true artists game. If you're into it, you'll spend a lifetime perfecting your skills. Great atmospheric works are protected, gain immortality and grace the best walls long after we mortal artists are gone and perhaps forgotten..... We all start somewhere including our heroes below.
