TUCSON ART ACADEMY

Albert Handell Workshop

Master pastel artist Albert Handell honored us with his teaching this past week. Mr. Handell has over 50 years of painting under his belt so you can only imagine how much knowledge he gave out. It was a wonderful workshop with students as far as Alaska flying in to study with this master. Albert did numerous demonstrations. The first demo was straight on the pastel paper from life outside. We wish everyone could have seen him work so swiftly, and with such accuracy. He has such a soft touch and a great sense of local color. The second demo was on how to lay in a watercolor wash before you begin your pastel painting on top. Then he really switched it up and did an oil demonstration of a rapid water stream. He finished the week with grasping the realism of a single tree with a charcoal drawing. He has such great drawing skills that it just came alive instantly.

Stan Miller Watercolor Workshop

During a five-day workshop Stan Miller really made all of the students think hard about the painting process. He is one of the most insightful artist’s living today, and if you have a chance to take a workshop with him do not miss the opportunity.

Here is a great link on his web site about what art is:

He did several demonstrations throughout the week and everyday he helped all the students on a individual basis. Stan also gave a very insightful slide lecture about the left and the right brain. I wish all of you could have heard it. He will be coming back next year, doing a 4-day workshop, January 23-26th, 2012.
