 Saturday, October 2, 1:30-3:30pm - Plein Air Landscapes in Oils by Barry McCuan at Artisan's Santa Fe store. Attend the demo and get a short preview of the subjects and techniques that Barry will cover in detail at the workshop he is giving the week of October 11-15, as well as experience his teaching style and expertise. Some of Barry McCuan's earliest memories are of a camping trip to Pecos in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains just to the east of Santa Fe. For a young boy, growing up on the Llano Estacado, the mountains were like paradise. This memory spurred Barry to make Santa Fe his home, where he has lived, studied, taught and painted for over 30 years. He is best known for his distinctive handling of Santa Fe's old adobe houses, fall scenes, and the canyons and rock formations found all over Northern New Mexico. |
 Saturday, September 25, 1:30-3:30pm - Portrait Drawing: The Construction of Light and Form by Colt Prehm at Artisan's Santa Fe store. The demonstration will consist of a portrait drawing done with graphite on white paper. Many topics including principles of light, form, gesture and technical aspects of creating a drawing will be discussed throughout the demo. Colt Prehm is an extraordinary young painter/draftsman working in an optical method of drawing and painting that he acquired from his teacher and mentor,Tony Ryder. He has also studied painting and drawing with Juan Martinez, Michael Grimaldi, Kevin Gorges and at Iowa State College of Art and Design with Brent Holland. He has exhibited primarily in Santa Fe, NM and was recently involved in the group show "Naked" at Skotia Gallery. This past year he was selected for the prestigious Hudson River Fellowship which brought together artists from across the globe. His technical ability and sensitive teaching style make his classes and demonstrations ideal for artists of all levels and are focused on light, as well as interpreting and articulating the visual experience we all share. |

Artisan's Artist of the Month
Meet Michelle Chrisman. "I consider myself a contemporary colorist and modernist, but most of all, a visual poet. I am drawn to paint endangered places such as the wilderness, historic buildings, and fading cultures in the hope of drawing public awareness by preserving them on canvas."
