| | | Did you miss out on the first Mucha workshop?
The first workshop sold out in a few days, but don't worry, we've added another Mucha workshop for the fall!
Alphonse Mucha was considered to represent the apex of the Art Nouveau movement, known for its bold treatment and outlining of the figure, with parts almost resembling modern-day pinstriping.
In this workshop we will paint in the style of Mucha, but with a bolder approach to color using a contemporary approach and tools. Oct 16-20, 2024.
Grab yours before its gone!

| | New Blog: Airbrush Skill vs Concept
The perpetual debate over what constitutes "good" art usually comes down to skill (execution) vs idea (concept).
A skill is proficiency, facility, or dexterity that is acquired or developed through training or experiences, usually manifested and applied in the physical word by an action.
A concept is that which occurs in the mind, in speech, or in thought. It is understood to be the fundamental building blocks of thoughts and beliefs. Concepts are considered abstract ideas or general notion.
At one extreme are artists who use observational skills and brush skills to re-create reality with painstaking exactitude and planning, emphasizing quality and beauty. Their goal is to celebrate the aesthetics of vision, and they often use traditional materials and methods.
