Doug returns to Downeast Maine & the Canadian Maritimes in August, 2012 - Join
this legend among artist-instructors for a five-day mentoring
workshop
|
The workshop will be based in Lubec, Maine. Students will paint en plein air in Lubec and, just minutes across the Roosevelt Memorial Bridge, on Campobello Island in New Brunswick. Lubec is a quaint, historic fishing village with a scenic waterfront, and Campobello Island is home to the many natural areas of Roosevelt-Campobello International Park and Herring Cove Provincial Park. Expect real working wharves, picturesque buildings and lighthouses, fishing boats, rugged cliffs and peaceful beaches. Medium: Pastel, though students may choose to paint in oil if they wish. (Doug will be painting in pastel only.) Student Level: Intermediate to Advanced / Professional. Students must be familiar with the medium and have prior outdoor painting experience. Students must be capable of painting on their own and without assistance from an instructor. Class Size: Limited to 8 students. We may paint in both Canada and in Maine, so you may be crossing the border. The Lubec-Campobello crossing is one of the least busy. You will need appropriate identification to return to the U.S. For travel information, visit www.getyouhome.gov or www.travel.state.gov.

A
mentoring workshop is a different experience from a typical
painting workshop. There will be no demonstrations or lectures
or personal help at your easel. Instead, you will paint along
with Doug as a colleague or, if you prefer, watch as Doug paints.
As your mentor, Doug will critique work and talk informally
about painting. You can expect a very intense, "immersion"
experience in some of the world's most scenic locations.
