Plein-Air Painting / Photography Workshop

Taught by Dallas Instructors, Niki Gulley & Scott Williams

Athens & Santorini, Greece, May 11 - 19 / 2011

Early Signup Deadline 12/15/10 for a $400 savings!!!

Get inspired from the ancient beauty of Greece as you join us for this amazing opportunity to sharpen your skills while enjoying one of the most picturesque landscapes in the world. Learning has never been as much fun as it is with this unique workshop that takes both painters and photographers on a tour through the cradle of civilization. The best part is that you get to choose which aspects of the workshop interest you – whether it is learning how to paint quickly to achieve the mood and changing light of the scene or deriving the most out of your camera as you capture one of the most beautiful places in the world, Greece.

This workshop will open your eyes to a new view of your art as we push you on a personal journey to expand your creativity. You will experience the sights, sounds and passion of Greece as you are immersed in its culture. See Athens spread out from the Acropolis, explore the cliff side views of the blue domes and white washed buildings set against the cobalt water of the Agean or watch the sun set next to the windmills at Ioa. This is an opportunity to have one of those adventures that you will talk about for years, all while you improve on your artistic skills in a real world setting.

Niki will conduct the Plein-Air Painting Workshop from different picturesque locations daily, teaching through a combination of demos, discussions, assistance and critiques. Sessions will be broken into different morning and afternoon locations, with plenty of time in between for shopping, sightseeing or to dine al fresco for a leisurely lunch.

Scott will take the photographers on a daily walking tour along the caldera and through the back streets that make Santorini one of the truly wondrous spots on earth. You will have the opportunity to experience Greece through your lens as Scott guides you to use your camera to define what you see while achieving your own artistic vision. As with the painters, there will be daily destinations with time allowances for exploring on your own.

The Texas Artists Coalition is sponsored by the Forth Worth Cultural Arts Center.

Hi friends!

    Our upcoming Intermediate workshop is "Smooth and Patterned" Saturday, November, 20th 10:00 am to 4:00 pm! We just got some new large iron tools in which help make a variety of surfaces from a palette knife effect to one that can push layers into one another in a more smooth or flat effect according to direction, temperature of layers and pressure applied. We'll also be creating patterns by building and scraping back and by incising and painting in then wiping off. I'm really enjoying these new tools and techniques. Please let me know if you can join me for this exciting workshop! More below:  

If you have some stencils or patterned paper you would like to experiment with and incorporate with these methods, please bring your materials. All intemediate workshops are $100.00.

Many thanks, Bonny
