MICHAEL LYNCH
SEPTEMBER 8 - 12
OIL PAINTING - THE LANDSCAPE
Tuition: $450.
The Class: This class will begin with slides and a discussion
of outdoor painting principles, methods and materials. We will
work outdoors daily with an emphasis on color, composition and
value. Michael will demonstrate as needed, but the class will
primarily be "hands on" for the students. Previous
outdoor experience is preferred, but not required. All levels
welcome. Lynch believes painting on location gives work a greater
degree of spontaneity and truth.
The Artist: Michael Lynch is an energetic artist, who is best
known for his plein-air landscapes with their bold brushstrokes.
Originally from Denver, his interest in art began at an early
age and was influenced by many area artists, including: Ned Jacob,
Mark Daily and George Carlson. He has traveled extensively through
the US and Europe. A member of the Chelsea Arts Club in London
and the National Academy of Western Art he also has his work
in numerous private collections. Michael Lynch has been featured
in The Santa Fean, Art of the West and Focus Santa Fe magazines.
