Getting Inspired with Art Demos!

Get to know our 2021 instructors with free online demos that showcase their art and personal style. Starting in April 2020, to keep in touch with our artists during lockdown, the demos became a wonderful bright spot of inspiration in the current world situation. We hope you enjoy the chance to watch one of your favorite teachers or experience a new medium.

Our Most Recent Demos

Susan Kuznitsky - Pastel - WEDNESDAY August 11

• Susan will do a Pastel Painting Demo using hard and soft pastels on sanded paper. Watch as she starts with an alcohol wash and then build up gorgeous layers of color to capture the light. Learn what supplies she uses and how you can use this technique in your own paintings.

Dale Popovich - Watercolor

• This demonstration is based on a photograph I took last autumn driving down a dirt road not far from Dillman's in the Great Northwoods of Wisconsin. What I want to convey in this demonstration is do not to make yourself a slave to the photograph. Always remember you are painting a painting and not a photograph. Allow yourself a little freedom in your creative process. I will be showing you:
  • How to build your painting from background to foreground.
  • Painting large areas to small areas.
  • Working light to dark.
  • Working more intense color at the beginning, and slowly graying down your color as you bring the painting to finish.
• Download Dale's PDF showing the photo, sketch, materials and learning points...
