BACAA/Paul Rosiak Plein Air Painting on the Beautiful Half Moon Bay Coast-2025

May 28, 2023/ Richard Dulaney

(2) Spots Remaining workshop nearly Full
Dates: April 11, 12, 13 2025
Hours: 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Lunch: 1:30 p.m. to 2:15 p.m.

In this workshop we will explore the exciting world of plein air painting on the beautiful Half Moon Bay coast. The course is designed for both experienced painters as well as those new to plein air painting.

In this three day workshop there will be a demonstration each day, followed by individual instruction in the field as you work on your own plein air paintings.

Plein air painting involves many challenges. Yet the complexity of information in nature combined with the variable conditions when painting outside creates a unique opportunity to respond with energy, distill what you see, and become more present and open to the unexpected beauty of nature and light.

Focusing on the beautiful Half Moon Bay coast, we will study sand, skies, and the structure and textures of water.

Throughout the three days, I will break down my process for how to approach a plein air painting, as well as how to problem-solve many of the practical and technical challenges often encountered in the field.

Through our plein air paintings, we will explore composition and design, drawing, value and form, edges, color, and texture in ways you can bring into any of your paintings.

BACAA/Darren Kingsley Still Life Painting Workshop - 2025

May 28, 2023/ Richard Dulaney

Still Life Painting
3 Spots Remaining workshop filling up
Date: April 25-28, 2025
Hours: 11:00 - 5:15
Lunch 1:30-2:15 p.m.

Overview
Still life is my absolute favorite way of teaching composition and color. It often involves very simple objects arranged in a way that creates incredible depth and color variety, usually more than you would ever find in a figure painting. We can explore ways of creating depth in paintings, creating harmonious color arrangements, and use of edges to create a beautiful painting.

We'll begin by doing a few arrangements of the objects you bring in to class to experiment with different ways of composing a painting to create the most depth and variety on a 2d surface.
As this is a fairly concise 4 day workshop we'll try to use objects that are somewhat small as I always try to do still life paintings at life size. Fruits and vegetables work well but anything that won't die or change shape too much can work well. (Flowers do not work for this. They’re too complex and they move constantly, that's a specialty for another class
Day 1.
Set up and composition studies. This can be done with charcoal or black and white paint. We are mostly looking for beautiful value arrangements here so something with a full range is necessary.
Day 2.
Block in grisaille and first color pass. We will start with fairly loose drawing to get out composition down and then begin adding color, looking for brightest lights, darkest shadows and big simple color spotting. Paint should remain somewhat thin here so we don't build up paint too early.
Day 3.
Refinement. Full color and full value. The goal with the second pass is to begin finding much subtler color and value patterns. Still moving around the entire painting but working more opaquely. Refinement of the drawing is always a priority and should be continued tod
Day 4.
Focus. Today we will focus in on the focal point and push that to a very high finish. We begin by rewetting the canvas with thinner colors and then pushing into smaller and smaller shapes, focusing as always on big form value and form color arrangements. The goal is too finish this passage we work on today at this point. It doesn't always get 100 percent there but we will be pushing for it.

BACAA/Steve Forster Portrait Painting - 2025

May 28, 2023/ Richard Dulaney

Color Planes of the Head

Dates: September 25-28, 2025 (4)
Time: 11:00 am- 5:00 p.m.
Lunch: 1:30- 2:15 p.m.

Class Description:
This is a four-day workshop where we will explore the planar relationships of the head, using color from different light sources to communicate the three-dimensional qualities of the head in a unique way. By using light sources of different colors, we will be able to more effectively communicate and differentiate the front planes from side planes, down planes from up planes. The first day we'll do small studies in which we will sketch in the model's head in oil paint using Asaro's planes of the head as a guide, which will be lit in the exact same way as our model. The following three days we will work up a larger size portrait, using the experience of the small study as a launching off point.

This is a great workshop for anyone who has wondered about painting planes, as the extreme color and lighting situation will enable us to see planes clearly. Even if a highly saturated, colorful painting is not your goal this extreme lighting situation helps to ignore the details of the model's face in order to see broader color relationships and keep our block-ins simpler.

Daily Schedule:
Day 1-Color Study - Color Planes of the Head, Thinking Small, Studying the head without features, How Colored light illuminates planes.

Day 2-- Color Block-In - Getting started with a larger piece, painting, blocking in the color plains, using the compressed, rainbow, a discussion on the compressed rainbow and how it relates to a flesh palette matrix.

Day 3- Structural Drawing - The architectural structure of the face. Re- drawing on top of the planes, the balance between structure and simplified masses.

Day 4- Key Concepts - A discussion of Chroma, The Color of Light and Atmosphere, Aesthetic qualities of Directional Colored Light

BACAA/Devin Cecil-Wishing Flemish Pronkstilleven Still Life Painting - 2025

May 28, 2023/ Linda Dulaney

“The Flemish Pronkstilleven”

Instructor: Devin Cecil-Wishing

Dates: December 11-15, 2025
Hours: 10:45 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Lunch: 1:30 p.m-2:15 p.m.

Course Description

Originally developed in Antwerp in the 1600’s by artists such as Frans Snyders and Adriaen van Utrecht, the pronkstilleven was a subgenre of still life painting which emphasized elaborate compositions, abundant piles of varied objects and depicted all sorts of objects from fruits and flowers to musical instruments, cookware, fish and even live animals and human subjects.

One question which frequently comes up when looking at these paintings is how the artists were able to paint so many perishable things since they only would have had a limited amount of time before they wilted or rotted. In this class we will be looking at how to approach that very question.

In this workshop we will focus on creating a fully resolved still life painting in a direct manner which will allow for improvisation in terms of our composition and also allow us to make fully finished paintings of subjects which may not give us a lot of time to work with them.

We will skip the initial drawing and underpainting which many of us are used to doing, in favor of diving right in and building each element as we go directly with paint. During the course of the week we will discuss painting light and form, color mixing, paint handling and many other aspects of painting and drawing. We will also spend time discussing different ways to approach building a composition “on the fly” as we go.

Students will be able to pick their own subject matter for their paintings, and can choose to paint objects which will remain stable for the entire week, or can choose subjects which will change more quickly. As far as subject matter, the sky is the limit, so bring in whatever you would like to include in your painting!

This course is open to all levels and there will be instruction geared towards beginners and advanced students alike.
