Light Source, Mood and Landscapes and Artifacts of the Southwest
Acrylic and Watercolor
All Levels
CAW is extremely fortunate to have Michael return this year to reprise his fabulous workshop. This is the only opportunity available to learn from this distinguished master of Southwestern Art.
Michael McCullough’s love of the Southwest shows clearly in his artwork. Members of the Choctaw nation, Michael and his twin brother Stephen are represented in galleries throughout the region and have been frequent participants in both the Santa Fe and the Heard Museum Indian Markets. They specialize in original paintings of authentic images reflecting the history and culture of the Southwest.
In this workshop, Michael is going to supply each participant with a set of 4 large prints of his paintings to use as working tools to take home with each student. In morning demonstrations, he will show his exact process of how a particular painting was developed. Students will be able to replicate his steps along the way. Demonstrations will be done in acrylics on 14 x18 or 16 x 20 inch size canvasses; however, students may use any brushes, paints or canvas size they choose.
Throughout the demonstrations and during individual working time in the afternoons, Michael will be emphasizing to students how to incorporate strong light sources, including effects of light and shadow, to give mood to paintings. Daily demonstrations will include both landscape and still life. According to students preferences, afternoon work sessions may be expanded to include students’ personal reference material.
Come join Michael to learn how to bring strength and vibrancy to your work and create your own Southwestern masterpiece!
