Creating Through Color

Workshops | Available

This workshop seeks to cover two important but seldom talked about areas: Imagination…and a pure approach to painting. I speak to my fellow artists as I would talk to myself, dealing with the same challenges we all face by finding simple, imaginative solutions to them. We will learn how to paint a scene, simplifying it in a way that will put us in control of it immediately. It doesn’t matter what medium an artist works in or their skill level. The idea is to energize ourselves into action and to learn how to approach each painting as a completely new and fresh challenge. An important part of being an artist is to be self-motivated. My goal is to motivate my fellow artists so that when the workshop is over, they will never again be stuck on what or how to paint!

Lachman, Al
Al Lachman

Lachman studied at Syracuse University, the School of Visual Arts and the Art Students League in New York City. Known as a master colorist for his luminous and painterly style, his influences can be drawn from Van Gogh, Rothko, Degas and Emil Nolde.

 

As a painter, instructor, author and juror for over six decades, Lachman has received numerous awards throughout his career.  He was honored for his lifetime achievements and contributions in American art by “Who’s Who in American Art” (2005-2006), as well as interviews and articles written about his varied approaches to art.  

 

In the ensuing years, Lachman became known for his acrylic, oil and pastels paintings.  He was honored and received “Best of Show”, “The Joseph Giffuni Memorial Award” presented at the 20th Annual National Exhibition by the Pastel Society of America at the National Arts Club in New York City. This award is the highest honor bestowed upon any U.S. pastelist annually. He was further honored as a Director on the Board of Control of the Pastel Society of America and one of the original founders and first instructors of the PSA School for Pastels, which is the only one of its kind in the U.S.

 

Lachman’s paintings are represented in numerous prestigious public and private collections and continue to garner the attention of art collectors both locally and nationally for fine art investment.
