Capturing the Impression: An Experiential and Logical Approach to Observational Painting with Doug Ritter
July 26-29, 1:30-4:30pm, $250
"We are all the subjects of impressions, and some of us seek to convey the impressions to others. In the art of communicating impressions lies the power of generalizing without losing that logical connection of parts to the whole which satisfies the mind." – Camille Pissaro
Pissaro says a wonderful thing in his statement - that it is the observer who is the subject of the impression - and it is exciting how that statement serves to amplify our common way of seeing. This course is concerned with observation, focusing primarily on color as a potent descriptive element in relating the visual field. While there is some presentation of schematic and theoretical approaches to color, our concern is direct observation, palette organization, and indexing the painting’s surface, working systematically to convey the colors that one observes.
Open to all levels, this class offers a working approach to painting that connects artists directly to their impressions from the visual field. Classes meet at PAAM and in the immediate environment - out of doors as weather permits - and have the opportunity to closely examine impressionist paintings from PAAM's permanent collection as models for our own works.
For more information and registration for theses workshops at PAAM, please contact: Grace Ryder O'Malley at the Provincetown Art Association and Museum:

Join Us in Wellfleet at the Pond Hil School for a Special Opportunity in
Arts Instruction, July 4-8, 2011
The NY Times best selling book "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" - by Betty Edwards was first published in 1979, with more than 2.5 million copies sold. Brian Bomeisler, Betty's son, has been teaching workshops for 20 years and has successfully taught thousands to master the art of drawing using Betty's approach. While the focus of the workshops is on drawing, absolutely no previous art training or special talent for drawing is necessary.
Learning to draw means learning to see things differently - to see in ways not frequently used in ordinary life. Once learned, drawing can be used to record what you see either in reality or in your mind's eye, in a manner not totally unlike the way we can record our thoughts and ideas in words. Many 20th century abstract painters who appear to draw and paint in a completely random fashion, had to learn to draw realistically before they were able to make the shift into abstract painting. Picasso, Willem de Kooning, Matisse, Mondrian and Jackson Pollock are a few examples of great abstract painters who first learnt to draw realistically.
Whether you feel you have little talent and doubt you could ever learn; or you enjoy drawing but have not been able to progress beyond a child-like level, these workshops will show you how to gain and master drawing skills. If you are already drawing as a professional artist they give you greater confidence in your ability and deepen your artistic perception. Instruction is specific in teaching the 5 skills needed to draw any perceived object, place or person.
