My two day workshop is a fun and casual exploration into making your animal paintings more bright and energetic. I attempt to dig out what is unique in each student to help them make their best paintings. We will explore a simplified approach to brushwork, while practicing good drawing, enhancing color by pushing what we see and don’t see, and combining abstraction and realism. We achieve this with a series of fun exercises, starting with charcoal and pencil drawing, color studies, timed exercises to achieve spontaneity and studies using just 2 colors. After that, we will work from the students’ photos or my photo library to start implementing what we just learned into their own works of art of animals. By the second day, the students will be painting what they would like to paint with my individual instruction. Please come ready to have fun!. A good attitude is a must and a love for animals, color and big brushstrokes is welcome too.

Instructor Bio

Sarah Webber

I was born in St. Paul, Minnesota. My journey as an artist has been surprising, challenging, fun and rewarding.  It started as a whim while living in Northern California in 2001 and became a somewhat late in life career choice after spending 10 years working in sales in major art galleries throughout the west. After learning to enjoy plein air painting in my spare time, I was encouraged by my one of my mentors and close friend, the late western artist/potter Bill Freeman, to pursue a career as an artist, with a focus on animals in the oil medium. After a lot of hard work, I developed a style that became my own personal language.
