Painting the Ghost Ranch Landscape at Casa del Sol with Michelle Chrisman – G25080402
Join Michelle Chrisman at Casa del Sol Hacienda, a private area of the Ranch, which will give us the special opportunity to paint in O’Keeffe’s favorite area, not currently available to the public. You will paint on location 3 mornings & 2 afternoons, capturing both dramatically different light settings. Starting with a short demo and small value studies, moving to larger color/value paintings. Emphasis is on designing composition with minimal shapes and values, with a brisk and painterly approach. Nightly critiques and lecture demos will be held. All levels of painters are welcome as well as all painting mediums.
To register for this program, please call in only! Angela Valdez (505) 685-4881 or Prescilla Tafoya (505) 685-1019.
