Gabriel’s next session to start on Friday, July 9th.
The ability to capture the personality or mood of a model in a painting takes expert precision, a mastery of painting techniques, and the ability to look beyond color and form to bring out a masterpiece.  Gabriel will be teaching students to see as well as paint over an 8-week course this summer.  Gabriel has been teaching oil painting for over 10 years and is now accepting new students for his July 9^th – Aug. 27^th session.

This session we will focus on painting from life. We will be painting from models for the entire 8-weeks.  We will have two 4-week poses, as well as painting and drawing demos.  Please be prepared with a few primed canvases or boards for the first class, and be ready to paint!

Workshop at Trium Winery

The beauty of the vineyards and hillsides was only briefly overshadowed by the wailing and gnashing of teeth on the first day of our workshop.  Wispy clouds floated by overhead, and the rolling hills below played tricks on our eyes disappearing into the purple shadows only to reappear moments later. Even the most level headed first day painter was vexed.  Lunch arrived, and the sandwiches and lemonade seemed to help.  As some of the concepts of value and depth started to take hold, morale improved.  By the second day, the group had its painting legs. Color and perspective abounded.  The scorching sun was merciless but my students were brave and sure.  Thin to thick, dark to light.  Contrasting values and forms diminishing into the distance.  There was some beautiful painting accomplished.  We’ll have to do it again.

Plein Air Painting in Ashland, Oregon

Painting on location at the beautiful Trium Winery

Plein air, a French word, literally translates as ‘open air’, and is defined as painting or drawing done outside, in the open air. The equivalent term in Italian would be alfresco. These works were taken directly from nature, and infused with a feeling of the open air.

Workshop Description

Gabriel will instruct during this 2-day plein air painting workshop capturing the beautiful Southern Oregon landscape. The rolling hills and vineyards are a stunning setting to paint your masterpiece.  The workshops will cover the fundamental principles of painting and composition with a focus on creating a sense of depth in your work.  Drawing, value, and color, will be used to create paintings with a strong sense of design. On location demos and one on one instruction will help to clarify some of the more technical concepts. The workshop will be intensive for all skill levels and limited to 10 students to ensure individual attention.

Take Your Work to the Next Level!

Direct painting [also known as alla prima or premier coup painting] refers to a method by which the artist applies each stroke of paint to the canvas with the intention of letting it stand in the picture as part of the final statement.

Gabriel’s weekly studio art class in Talent, OR

Workshop Description

The workshop will focus on getting a solid start with attention paid to the drawing and form of the model.  We will then move into application of values and color on the form.  A small class size allows for each student to work at their own pace and still receive the instruction they need.  I will do a portrait painting demo and answer any questions that come up along the way.  Direct painting allows for a vital connection with the subject.  Staying constantly present to each brushstroke applied results in a fresh and very dynamic painting.
