with Janet A. Cook, PSA
This two day workshop will be a hands-on experience where artists can explore pastels using techniques Somers has learned through his career. “Dry
washes,” adding and removing color, using pastels
as a wet medium and using color fields as part of
composition are some of the things that will be
covered. Demonstrations will focus on both his
techniques and the thought process he follows as
he develops his paintings.

with Dick McEvoy, PSA
Portrait Painting with Ellen Eagle, PSA

PSA Master & Hall of Fame 2012
May 24-26, 2013
“Painting is first energy and then technique,” is the
philosophy of instructor Federico whose method is a
unique and exciting way to achieve a painterly pastel
April 14, 2013
When water is still, it often allows for light and reflection to bounce off its smooth surface, illuminating the colors around it, rather than in it. The
movement of water is captured by seeing the entire
myriad of colors on and below the surface, and by
communicating an understanding of light’s reflection and refraction. This work shop is aimed at
helping one see more than you have before when
painting water.
www.dickmcevoypaintings.com
As students work from the model, Ellen helps her
students engage in intense color analysis of the
subtle gradations of flesh tones and translate the
complexities of tone and form into a beautifully harmonious construction. Digital images of the instructor’s works in progress will illustrate the
development of her perceptions from start to completion of her portraits and still life paintings.
Ellen’s book, Pastel Painting Atelier, will be published by Watson-Guptill on April 23, 2013.
