2008 Master Workshop

Terry Ludwig
Plein Air Landscape

September 20-24, 2008

Odd Fellows Hall
Orleans, MA

"I like to capture a spirit in my art, whether it is a personality, a feeling inspired by nature or even a humorous experience. It's true of the way I relate to people, too. I am spirited and enjoy each person's unique nature."

Join this innovative workshop to learn new techniques for landscape painting with pastels--from the founder and creative director of Terry Ludwig Pastels. This class will include drawing techniques with an emphasis on obtaining a direct likeness. Terry brings a welcome sense of humor to his workshops and emphasizes starting any painting with a thumbnail and the importance of using correct values--not always the correct color.

The workshop begins each day with an entertaining and informative demonstration where each student will learn new techniques which apply to all forms of artistic expression. The remainder of the workshop is spent learning by trial and error, interacting with Terry and your fellow artists, and will be followed by a critique.

This is a workshop - defined as a place where you should expect to do your worst work - not your best. It's a place to learn new skills that will be challenging and will take you out of your comfort zone. All of this is taught with a great sense of humor. Come prepared to laugh and learn together!

Terry Ludwig received his formal art education under William Mosby and Joseph Vanden Broucke at the nationally acclaimed American Academy of Art in Chicago, IL. Since that time, he's participated in numerous workshops with mentors such as Harley Brown, Mark Daily, Lorenzo Chavez and Matt Smith.

He has exhibited in juried exhibitions and galleries around the nation, and his work hangs in many personal collections. He is best known for his own line of high-quality soft pastels, which are used and sold around the world.

Terry teaches extensively in the United States on topics such as color theory, landscape, figurative, portraiture and still life. His approach to workshops is lively and fun-filled. Terry is a master of the basics and advanced topics; and he easily shares his expertise with a sense of humor and solid foundational skills. Students enjoy learning his techniques in a laid back and supportive environment.

Join us for what promises to be an informative, fun-filled workshop with one of the masters!
