New North Carolina Plein Air Workshops
September 27, 2008
I AM PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE two new plein-air workshops in Raleigh, NC, hosted by The Collectors Gallery.
These one-day workshops cover specific topics artists have requested. You can sign up for just one or both (discount available.) Open to artists painting en plein air in acrylic, soft-pastel, oil or watercolor. We will paint in the historic City Market and Moore Square. And in the event of rain we'll still paint. Hope to see you there!
TACKLING GREEN 1-day – Friday, October 24, 2008
Fee: 160.
For the landscape painter, creating the right green for any situation is among the greatest yet most satisfying challenges – especially when something may not appear to be green! Discover how to "see" any type of green then tackle how to mix and apply to your painting. Whatever your style or media, Diane will work with you personally to achieve your goals and offer concrete, effective exercises. You will then create luminous color while painting en plein air.
TACKLING ARCHITECTUREFee: 160.
There is more to the landscape than pure land. It may also include architecture - from bridges and fences to historic buildings and skyscrapers. As an expert in architectural rendering, Diane will offer insights into how you can paint architecture by eye, how to down-select for more powerful creative compositions, or to incorporate other elements into your paintings. You will paint on location to apply the many concepts Diane shares and demonstrates.

Epcot and New Art Instruction DVD
April 15, 2008
In other news:
INTRODUCING THE INAUGURAL ISSUE OF THE Traveling Painter Library - a brand new series of DVDs for beginning to advanced artists in acrylic, oil and pastel, both en plein air and in the studio!With an ever growing demand for my workshops, I cannot reach everyone. Therefore, I have turned to producing videos that anyone can use via their computer or TV. Granted, you don’t have the personal interaction of a hand-on, in-person workshop. Nevertheless, I promise, you will gain so much that whether you go it alone or when you do go to a workshop (whether mine or someone elses’) you’ll be well equipped!
Soft Pastel: A Painterly Approach, is the first of three offerings in 2008. If you are already a pastel painter, this is a great volume to help you loosen-up to capture the landscape. If a beginner, it will teach you pastel strokes along with countless tips along the way during the demonstration - even encourage to paint along, or from your own subject.
To view a listing of what’s included and a video clip of excerpt from the DVD click here. When you try this volume please send me your feedback - I want to serve you. My objective is simple - to develop extraordinary education for all. (A Soft Pastel Starter Kit for beginners will be available later in the series.)
Acrylic, Water Miscible Oil and plein-air painters stay tuned! A multi-disk comprehensive plein-air workshop is in the works along with many others listed here.
Thanks for your interest and support. I look forward to sharing my years of teaching and painting experience with you personally !
P.S.
All DVDs are in standard Letterbox format. As demand for high-definition DVDs grows will produced in that format as well.
