Painting Instruction with Vincent Crotty Summer 2010

Vincent returns for his fourth time as a teacher to the Catskills Irish Arts Week in upstate New York. This is America’s premier summer school for Irish arts, including traditional Irish music, dance, painting, Celtic jewelry-making, stone carving, and more. Spend your days painting landscape and figure paintings, and your nights listening or dancing to Irish music from the best traditional musicians from Ireland and the US.

Vincent’s workshop will guide novice as well as experienced artists through the process of painting from life. This course will strengthen students’ understanding of design, color, and especially light, as they pertain to painting from life. There will be opportunities to paint outdoor landscapes (weather permitting), still life, and figure paintings of musicians.

This course is best suited to adult and teen-age students. Students must provide their own materials.
