WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION: Painting is learning to see. Often, we paint what we think we see because we all have preconceived notions of what something looks like. However, to really paint what you see, you must break down everything you are looking at into just abstract shapes. Don’t see a “house,” see a series of interlocking shapes. Aline is known for her vivid paintings and creative use of color. She will emphasize the understanding of color in terms of temperature, intensity and value while translating those ideas using pastel techniques. Students will use principles of color and design to transform their pastel paintings, creating loose, bold, but still illustrative paintings. |
ABOUT THE ARTIST: Aline grew up outside of New York and received her early education at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY, graduating in 1975 with a BFA. She subsequently moved to the San Francisco Bay area and eventually attended The Academy of Art College (now University) in San Francisco receiving an additional BFA in illustration. Upon graduation, she taught figure drawing there for 8 years before moving to New England. She is a Master Pastelist with the Pastel Society of America, an Eminent Pastelist with the International Association of Pastel societies, a Signature Member of The American Impressionist Society and a Signature Member of the Oil Painters of America.
