Not to be missed workshop in lovely north light studio of one of the founders of the Taos Society of Artists...E.L. Blumenschein built this studio at his home in Taos in the early 30's.
This workshop is for students who are serious about advancing their skills of observation and want to understand how to make use of their palette to its full advantage. The instructor will explain and show through demonstration studies how certain effects of light and depth can be achieved. She will also try to help identify materials or procedures a student may be using that are getting in the way of their progress.
We will discuss composition, technique, principles of light and shade and a range of other painting related topics. Almost all of the lessons will apply to any medium or subject matter but the focus will be specific to still life in oil. Demonstrations will be done with the intent of illustrating how to handle specific problems rather than producing an entire finished painting and during the class students will be encouraged to adopt a similar attitude with an emphasis on learning and study. Previous experience in mixing color is necessary. It will be 4 days of intense concentration—but fun too. Bring a sense of humor.

After returning to the southwest she studied drawing with Ned Jacob and received critiques from Richard Schmid. Since moving to Taos, New Mexico, in 1986, Robb’s art travels have taken her to France, Spain, Guatemala, and across the United States. She has exhibited in numerous group and solo shows and her paintings have received many awards, most notably the John F. and Anna Lee Stacy Scholarship. Her paintings, in both oil and watercolor, portray a variety of subject matter. Her work has been featured in Art of the West, Southwest Art, and in The Artist’s Magazine.
