May 13th marked the end of an intense 3 day landscape painting retreat ReidsArt held Stanford Valley Guest Farm! The students worked diligently, and saw major improvements in their landscape paintings under Chris’s tutelage. Special thanks to the venue for allowing us to hold the workshop there. We also enjoyed delicious food at their on site restaurant- The Manor House.
The Art Boutique in Kleinmond, South Africa hosted Chris for a 2 day Landscapes & Seascapes workshop. Students worked on paintings from photo in a pastel, oils, or acrylic.
The Landscape Painting Workshop in Bryanston went wonderfully! Chris gave a short lecture and a pastel demo on day one. Students then painted around the garden and completed their paintings on the second day. Special thanks to Myrtle Wilson for providing such a beautiful venue and exquisite cuisine!
The Art Farm Figure Drawing Workshop in Alberton was a great experience for everyone! Students learned a wealth of information from Chris regarding painting the human figure- information that they will also be able to apply to any type of art they create. Special thanks to Henriette of The Art Farm for organizing, and to the model, Donnaleigh.
Students had a blast getting their fingers dusty in the plein air workshop!
