KAREN & JACK WINSLOW teach one or two workshops together each year. With 2 instructors, the students receive ample support, encouragement. and practical help. Karen & Jack are passing on a tradition, teaching the way they were taught in an atelier (or studio) setting with students of all abilities. They both teach through demonstrations, as well as individual and group critiques, showing and explaining the "hows" and "whys" of artistic principles that make a painting "read" with light, form, and depth. These workshops are generally combination classes with both still life and outdoor landscape painting, and at times they will include head studies, figures and casts. In addition to teaching together, Karen teaches a weekly still life class and a weekly landscape classs. All levels are welcome, and Winslow Art Studio is wheelchair accessible. Easels and taborets for indoor classes are provided. Artists supply all other art materials. If you would like more information, please email or phone. Below are photos from some of the 5 Day workshops and still life classes. What my students say: "Quite honestly, I consider her the best teacher I have had the opportunity to be the student of."Julie Y Baker Albright (various still life, portrait, drawing & landscape classes with Karen)

4 DAY - ELEMENTS OF LANDSCAPE AND / OR STILL LIFE PAINTINGS - Hosted by and located at the studio of Deborah Elmquist http://deborahelmquist.com/workshops in Port Orange, FL - April 4-7, 2014 - Painting directly from life, whether an outdoor landscape or an indoor still life arrangement is a challenge. Knowing how to begin, what to look for, how to mix colors, and how to develop a believable illusion of form and light calls for problem solving. In Karen's class, you will learn to manage these challenges and learn to paint quickly and efficiently by:
1. Organizing your palette and premixing color/value scales.
2. Painting in mass (instead of filling in outlines)
3. Following rhythms to create movement.
4. Simplifying design into 5 basic planes of light.
5. Striving to maintain the unity of the "whole" by controlling details.
Students have the option to take this workshop as a STILL LIFE ONLY (afternoons) or PLEIN AIR ONLY (mornings) for $250.
Or, they can take the combination STILL LIFE AND PLEIN AIR for $350. All students must take the first day, where I will be covering a lot of material, demonstrating, and teaching how to mix the landscape palette (known as the prismatic palette).  _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 5 DAY MENTORING WORKSHOP - May 26-30, 2014 5 DAY MENTORING WORKSHOP - June 2-6, 2014 Cambridge / Jeffersonville, VT - This is an intensive workshop covering outdoor landscape painting in oils or watercolor/gouache; indoor still life; and portrait painting from life to inspire artists to a new level of appreciation and growth.
