          Open Shared Critique:  Moderated by Cathyann Burgess

Morning presentation is free and open to the public…

Bring a work that needs a critical eye.  Be open to criticism that is helpful from others in the group wanting to participate in looking at work objectively.  Getting feedback from each other is a good thing and a way to see how your work may improve.  This is a give and take for educational purposes.

     …from 1pm to 4pm

Workshop:  “Learning from the Masters:  Still Life in Pastel” 

Cathyann Burgess

–

Cathyann Burgess will hold a workshop in painting the still life with pastel.  Using master pastelist works to illustrate techniques, color theory and composition, the student will work from life to create one or more small paintings.  Individual attention and guided practice are Cathyann’s strengths as a teacher of art.  It doesn’t matter if you are a still life painter or not.  Working from still life is still beneficial to learning new ways of working with pastel.  Come try it out!

Materials:  your own set of pastels and small sized sanded paper of your preference 8×10, 8×8, no larger than 9×12, drop cloths, paper support, easel or table, water container, sketchbook, pencil.

About Cathyann:

“I have been drawing or painting as long as I can remember and consciously thought of myself as artist, at age 13. Born in Manhattan and raised in Brooklyn, NY, my first art ‘aesthetic’ experience was at the Cloisters, part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The next time artwork made an indelible mark was when I was sixteen and stood before Picasso’s Guernica.

I hold a MSEd in Art from SUNY College at Buffalo, NY.

My teaching experience in art for over 25 years in 4 states, includes formal schools both public and private, museums and workshops.”
