Exploring Color Relationships
Workshop | Available
This workshop will introduce you to my chromatic palette and to a few tried and true color palettes that can be used from this basic set of colors. These are some of the same palettes that Henri,Bellows, and Sloan went to great depths to explore with amazing results. As we explore these palettes, I will outline how to make thema and how to use them effectively. You will walk away with a newfound understanding of how efficiently color can be used and how fun interpreting color can be. Please note- this is not the same workshop that was taught here in Spring of 2024.

David Lussier
David Lussier is an award winning contemporary impressionist and nationally recognized plein air painter and workshop instructor. He is a painter in the purist sense of the word. In his poetic and intimate oil landscapes he strives to capture the essence and sense of place of his subject matter. His use of bold broad brushwork brings the surfaces to life and begs the viewer to return for a second look. David started his career as a commercially trained illustrator, but he quickly realized that his passion was in the fine arts. He has been painting professionally for more than twenty five years, has garnered more than 75 prizes for his work and is in numerous private and corporate collections throughout the United States. His work has been featured in many art journals and he is a professional member of some of the finest art associations and groups in the country. David is also an official U.S. Open artist for the United States Golf Association. Four of his paintings hang in the permanent collection of the USGA Museum in Far Hills New Jersey.
