Mike Rooney Plein Air 2 Day workshop at ArtSource in Raleigh, May 2-3.
Just in case you missed registering for the sold out workshop in Jacksonville on May 24th by Mike Rooney... here's another chance...
ArtSource Fine Art Gallery in Raleigh is proud to be able to present a two day workshop with notable artist Mike Rooney! Mike specifically passed along your email address to make sure that you'd have the opportunity to take advantage of this unique workshop experience. This acrylic plein air workshop will be held May 2 & 3 at our gallery in the historic and picturesque Raleigh neighborhood of Five Points. Each day will run from 9am - 5pm and the cost is $100 per person per day. You're welcome to sign up for one or both days, though we do encourage both to get the full experience. If you get 2 or more friends to sign up with you, you'll each receive 10% off of the registration fee as a group discount! Our workshops are limited in size and we think that a small participant group allows for the best and most comprehensive experience; each participant is ensured lots of personal attention!
The following topics and techniques will be discussed and demonstrated over the course of the workshop:
~Equipment needed for plein air work
~Working indoors from photos
~Simplifying objects - stick figures welcomed
~Working quickly - time waits for no one
~Massing in and values - from blobs to objects
~Color and composition theory, its not as boring as it sounds
~Color palette choices - your individuality expressed in pigment
~How to sell your work on your own and/or approach galleries with your work after you've created your masterpiece
There will be quick demos, indoor instruction (if it rains) and outdoor painting. In the afternoon of the last day, there will be a relaxed critique of works completed during class. If you would like to participate, sign the attached contract and return it to me by fax, mail, or in person to the North Hills gallery along with a check (or credit card number) for the registration fee in order to reserve your spot. Once you're registered, I'll get you the supply list. We hope that you'll consider registering and look forward to seeing you there! If you have any questions or for more information please feel free to contact me - my information is below. Also, please be sure to keep checking our website for information about other upcoming events and workshops! Thanks very much!

FUN, FUN, FUN @ March "Paint Out" in Downtown Jacksonville
OOPS members had another GREAT time at their recent "Paint Out" in downtown Jacksonville on the 16th. Another cool and breezy day with the biggest challenge being the changing light. The afternoon started overcast and then the sun came out and cast long shadows. We met several nice folks... Jim Meyers who is an artist opening a working art studio downtown, Mike and Anna Jarman who plan to join OOPS, and Gina, a sweet Korean lady who brought us all some hot green tea. Thanks Gina!

1 spot left for Mike Rooney plein air workshop in Onslow County on May 24th...
Connie Wenner (Executive Director of the Council for the Arts) just informed me that there is one spot left for the upcoming plein air workshop by Mike Rooney. The workshop is set for Saturday, May 24, 2008.
"Loosen up by Simplifying: Plein Air (painting outdoors)
Painting workshop by Mike Rooney
Saturday, May 24, 2008; 9:00 am - 5:00 pm
Mike Rooney will teach an outdoor painting class guaranteed to loosen up your style and transform your art. Learn to paint with a loose, colorful and impressionistic style. There will be a quick demo, indoor instruction (if it rains) and outdoor painting. Call Council for a recommended list of supplies.
Mike's workshops are awesome and I highly recommend them. To be honest.... at this low price (thanks Council)... if we simply watched him paint without a word we'd get more than our monies worth!
So far I think Dean, Mitchell, Stephen, myself, and (???) are signed up to attend. Workshop is limited to six artists.
CONTACT Connie at the Council for the Arts yesterday if you are interested... ;)

Prairie Plein Air Call for Artists
Dear Artists,
We are delighted to tell you of an exciting opportunity with the Springfield Art Association in Springfield, Illinois.
This summer the SAA’s Gallery of Art will host an exhibit exploring the American prairie. Prairie Plein Air will run from June 28 to September 21 and will feature oil, pastel, acrylic and watercolor landscapes. Ecology and topography literally define the prairie but in this exhibit artists are asked to depict their American prairie.
All work must be executed in full or in part en plein air. (Pieces begun outdoors and finished in studio will be considered.) Three cash prizes totaling $800 will be awarded. Prairie Plein Air will run three months with an anticipated 7,500 attendance. The exhibit will be featured during our 20th Annual Edwards Place Fine Art Fair, which attracts thousands of art lovers and consumers.
Prairie Plein Air’s juror, Michael Chesley Johnson, is a Signature Member of the Pastel Society of America and a juried member of Oil Painters of America. He is a popular instructor and landscape artist, primarily of the Canadian east coast and the American southwest.
Entries are due March 14, so be sure to act soon!
