Desmond O'Hagan
"Capturing Light - interpreting values and shapes" Comprehensive 3-day workshop for pastel and oil painters.

August 30 - September 1, 2024
9:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Class fee is $375 and in person only. Lunch is included each day.

Give us a call or email for more information or to register for the workshop at 620-723-2600 (Monday to Friday 1:00 - 5:00 PM) or 547artscenteroffice@gmail.com

This workshop is designed to help you see your subjects in a new light, and paint with minimal strokes in refining shapes and edges with oils and pastels. An important feature of this workshop is I work with participants individually to critique and offer new directions in completing their paintings. Critiques include designing compositions, highlighting problem areas, correcting values, and simplifying important shapes during the process of painting. Lastly, this workshop is designed to loosen your paint strokes and avoid excessive detail in creating a more unique piece of art. The workshop will include a digital slide presentation of my pastel and oil paintings that includes step-by-step images of paintings in progress. My morning lectures will highlight a variety of topics including composition, painting techniques, self-critiquing, framing, and photographing people for painting reference. I will provide daily pastel demonstrations.

More class information may be found on our website: 547artscenter.org

Thank you to our instructor @eudeswatercolor for coming back to rural Kansas to provide an incredible opportunity for artists. Our resume of past artists is continuing to grow in an unimaginable way for Greensburg, Kansas.
Thank you to our students who created a wonderful environment to paint and spend time in fellowship. We were blessed with five students from Oklahoma, one from Iowa, one from Hays, another from Kinsley, and four local artists.

Thank you to Kooks Meat for catering three out of four days of lunches plus making a spectacular charcuterie board for us to enjoy Saturday afternoon.

Thank you to Reggie’s for delicious pizza for lunch on Sunday. Supporting local is one of our top priorities!

And finally thank you to @visitgreensburgks and the tourism board for awarding us funds towards the workshop. We are grateful to have such support for the arts in Kiowa County.

Today we learned about American artist, Georgia O’Keeffe. We were inspired by her famous floral paintings and did up close watercolor paintings of various flowers. It’s amazing to see the kids’ creativity.
