Charles Reid is an artist, teacher and author known around the world.  He has authored eleven books on painting which are directed toward students at all levels. He is an enthusiastic and engaging tutor, generous and encouraging in his advice and constructive in his suggestions and analysis of students’ work.  These two workshops, each offering five days of tuition, present a rare opportunity to study with Charles outside the U.S.A.  Charles is not planning any other overseas workshops in 2011.
The workshop (the same at both venues)

"Learning to simplify will be the goal of the class. I use the same approach for figure, still life, and landscape. First we'll use contour drawing, concentrating on interconnecting shapes, rather than separate objects.  We'll practice "Direct Painting" using as few over washes as possible, concentrating on good paint consistency: (the correct ratio of water and paint when the brush is loaded).  The hope will be to achieve the correct colour, edge variety and tonal value on the first try."  Charles Reid

There will be a maximum of 18 students at each workshop.  A materials and equipment list will be sent to you a few weeks before the class.  Non-painting partners are very welcome to join us.
