BAA 3-Day Painting Workshop with Artist Gavin Glakas / “Cityscape (and Landscape) Painting from the Studio”

Gavin Glakas teaches in a way that is simple to understand, straightforward, and open to artists of any and all styles and creative goals.  He will teach you to paint dynamic, exciting landscapes and cityscapes from the studio where we’ll use photos as the starting point in our journey, not the finish line.  Gavin will simplify concepts like composition, design, color, depth, edges, linear perspective, and how (and when!) to paint details. He will also teach you the really important stuff: how to apply paint, which brushes to use in which situations, where and when to use medium, how to paint with that palette knife, how to achieve certain looks like crisp edges, blending, layering, and anything else that begins with the phrase, “How do you? . . “.   Gavin will help you give your work mood, atmosphere, and feeling, and make the process of painting more fun and creative than simply trying to reproduce a photograph.  Students will work from their own photos to complete one (or more) finished paintings and Gavin will paint a demo painting to show students every aspect of the process.
