Painting Workshops
In Seabrook, Washington
COLOR BOOTCAMP (basic oil painting)
Instructor Arthur Egeli teaches beginning oil painting in a step-by-step method. All work is done from life. Students begin with basic shapes and quickly move to more complicated shapes and objects as they develop their color vision. In many ways, Color Bootcamp seems like a beginning class, but the demands on a student are advanced as they try to catch the ever changing light of nature, just as the great impressionist Claude Monet once did. Each lesson begins with a short demonstration and lesson, with a clear objective presented for the students to master for that session. Among the topics presented are light, shade, and half-tone, edges, color value, tonal value, color depth, texture, simultaneous contrast, reflected light, and color modeling. Dates – May 26 to 28 Tuition - $350. Non-refundable deposit of $100 due by May 15th.".
LANDSCAPE PAINTING
Landscape Painting is an unstructured class in which students work side by side with teacher Arthur Egeli. There are rare lectures on advanced concepts such as "lost and found", "the halo effect", and modeling in color, but most teaching is done on an individual basis. In advanced painting, frequently students are at very different levels of accomplishment, but because the teaching is individualized, students can develop at their own pace. Frequently their are group critiques. The class will be painting the beautiful scenery of the Washington coast. Dates – May 31 to June 3. Tuition $495. Non-refundable deposit of $100. due by May 15th.
LIFE DRAWING
Four mornings of traditional sketching from the live model. June 6 – 9. Tuition $225.

About ADVANCED OIL PAINTING
Advanced Oil Painting is an unstructured class in which students work side by side with instructor Arthur Egeli. There are rare lectures on advanced concepts such as "lost and found", "the halo effect", and modeling in color, but most teaching is done on an individual basis. In advanced painting, frequently students are at very different levels of accomplishment, but because the teaching is individualized, students can develop at their own pace. Frequently their are group critiques. About half the classes with have models posing and the other half will be landscape classes. The model set-ups are usually in genre setting, such as young women in a wedding dress or two women at a cafe. Each subject is painted for two consecutive days in the same light conditions (weather permitting).
Both classes have a limit of twelve students and a non-refundable $50 deposit holds your place in each class, which can be sent to Arthur Egeli, 914 North Michigan Ave, Pasadena, CA. 91104. The balance of tuition is due on the first day of class. Advanced painting may be taken without instuction for $25. per class. Returning Color Bootcamp students can take the class for a second time for $30. per class.

Outdoor Portable easel
I prefer the Stanrite 300 Deluxe or Stanrite 400 Lecturers' easel (enhanced with spring clamps.) (Do not be lead into buying a Stanrite 100 or 200 by an art store employee. They're too short. You may have to special order the 300.) 10 prepared masonite boards or canvases. 5 -12" by 16" and 5- 16" by 20". I prefer masonite over cotton canvas for outdoor painting. Of course you may use linen also, but I don't recommend it for the color studies. Get quarter inch thick, untempered or standard masonite at the lumber company, cut to size, then prepare it with two coats of Liquitex Gesso. Some will be available for sale at $6 each.
Palette
Odorless Paint Thinner and a tin can container for it Assorted Brushes, Palette Knife, and paper towels (Bounty or Viva) Hat (for the intense California sun) Oil Colors (Artists' Grade) (I recommend Rembrandt or Windsor-Newton, or a combination of both with emphasis on Rembrandt.)
