2008 WORKSHOPS
All
workshops are $75/day for members and $85/day for non-members
(to become a member click
here). Painting at the North Shore Arts Association is particularly
exciting because of our superb location on historic Gloucester
Harbor. Home to ships of all sorts - lobster boats, deep water
draggers, pleasure boats and tall ships - Gloucester harbor has
provided artists with subject matter for years. A newly renovated
indoor studio is located on the ground level of the art association.
It features large, bright windows overlooking the harbor, a slop
sink for ease in cleaning up, and easy access to the parking
lot. There is just one step down from the doorway into the
studio. And the parking lot provides incredible vistas for plein
air painters. Click

Frank
Federico
August 18, 19, 20, 21 - Plein Aire, Pastel, Oil, & Watercolor
– "Painting is first an energy, then a technique. I am
essentially a romanticist; wherever I go, I need to relate to, respond
to ... and to romance my physical environment and its sensual atmosphere.
In this regard my approach to painting is fairly spontaneous...
I like to consider myself as having an ever-adaptable attitude in
response to stimuli. I believe that art is as capricious as natures
own whims.. Nature provides the catalyst -- human or otherwise ...
Each painting speaks for itself and has a life of its own."
- Frank Federico
