STILL LIFE WORKSHOP - May 21-26, 2012
and
PORTRAIT WORKSHOP - June 25-30, 2012
My teachers are offering a very intensive week long workshop on Classical Realism.
And what an opportunity this is!
Numael and Shirley Pulido are not only great painters, they are the best teachers I ever had.
You can enjoy some of their work below while you read about this workshop. Numael's works are in oil and Shirley's works shown here are in pastel.

This five and a half-day course is meant to accommodate artists looking for a unified approach to picture-making and oil painting technique.

This is an intensive course of instruction and open to only 8 students per workshop.
Still Life by Numael Pulido
It is a teaching applicable to all levels, - for beginners or for advanced painters who are looking for a more classical approach.
Still Life by Numael Pulido
Each student will start a start a still life with the same instruction and advance according to his/her own level of experience.

Some time will be devoted to advice for doing more effective set-ups for both still life and portrait painting.

This is a workshop which provides the student with a great amount of procedural information and time-tested principles that allow the natural talent of the student to become more accessible.

Accommodations are abundant in the area - and New England’s oldest, beautiful inn is right in town.
Good lunches, a five minute walk to town center.
And Peterborough, a cultured and elegant town, 7 miles down the road from Hancock for relaxed evenings.

The Manchester NH. airport is 45 minutes from Hancock.

Intensive 6 Day Workshop
Study Form, Composition, Light, using the limited palette: ideal for artists wishing to enhance their knowledge of master painting technique and classical composition.

This is a real opportunity to study with two masters of classical realism. And they are only accepting 8 people.
I recommend The Hancock Inn (one of the oldest inns in the country) as a delightful place to stay. It is within walking distance of the Pulido Studios, dining, library, grocery store....and a large picturesque pond.
"The Classical Realism Workshop" is a rare opportunity - so grab it if you can. I promise, you won't be disappointed.
Last Workshop:
I stopped by the last workshop toward the end and snapped a quick picture of the students busy working. This studio is small - but very comfy. The Pulidos have painted a mural on the far wall that gives their space a delightful "airy" (and classical) atmosphere.
I never met anyone who wanted to paint that was totally lacking the talent. But without solid instruction it is nearly impossible to get to a professional level.
For a lucky few, Numael and Shirley Pulido took their workshop participants through a step-by-step classical oil still life painting. Having experienced this procedure first-hand, the student can now return home and bring this traditional knowlege to all of their future works.
As I expected, they all "got it" - and the resulting work is most impressive. It is really exciting for me to see what happens when "Talent Finally Meets a Teacher."
Visiting the Pulido Studio Workshop made my day!

Hello Karin,
As a former student of the Pulidos and classmate of Karin's many years ago (what fun days those were, Karin!) I will second her enthusiasm for Numael and Shirley's teaching. I consider my time with them fundamental to my success as a painter. Many thanks to them - and thanks to you too, Karin, for making news of their workshop available to more people.

Long ago I was lucky enough to take one of her workshops....and plan to do it again.
Wow, those are stunningly beautiful paintings! I am so much a direct painter for so long though that I think this would be like starting from scratch.
Trust me, you can learn the techniques in a week. :o)
Dear Readers,
One of the nice things about the way the Pulidos present information - is that all levels of expertise can learn it.
In fact, it is the student's work that is so impressive. The Pulido's really know how to teach people to paint Classical Realism.
If you take this workshop - please let me know. I promise, you will not be disappointed!
Love,
Karin
