The 5.4.7 Arts Center is a community arts center dedicated to provide opportunities in the arts through classes, exhibits and performances. Our name comes from the date of the tornado that devastated Greensburg May 4, 2007. This date has been a catalyst for new beginnings in Greensburg and we want to remember this day that has forever changed us.

"Capturing Light - interpreting values and shapes"

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.
