This painting workshop for students of all levels
will focus on still-life and figure-portrait
as well as devoting at least one day to landscapes. The emphasis
will be on pragmatic painting and drawing skills
with a particular focus on the depiction of light on form.
Communicating the internal structure and turning a collection
of objects into one thing will also be explored. Gregg is an
excellent and popular instructor, giving extensive attention
to each student.
THE INSTRUCTOR: Gregg Kreutz received his education
from New York University and the Art Students League and studied
with David Leffel. He exhibits at various galleries in New York,
Wisconsin, Arizona and New Mexico. Kreutz authored "Problem
Solving for Oil Painters," published by Watson-Guptill,
and he was featured in March '88 American Artist. He had
a one-man show at Grand Central Gallery, New York, in 1989. Kreutz
has many awards to his credit, including the Salmagundi Club,
Grumbacher, and Frank C. Wright awards. In his view, "Realistic
painting is an especially rewarding endeavor. To actively go
after it means to learn what makes art, what the external world
really looks like, and how the two can be fused.
