All Media Painting Workshop with Steve Puttrich

All Media Painting Workshop with Steve Puttrich

Presented by Addison Art Guild at Addison Trail High School

Steve Puttrich started his studies at the American Academy of Art and the Art Institute of Chicago. He received his degrees in architectural illustration, graphic design and fine art. Steve studied watercolor painting under the Academy’s Director, Irving Shapiro, and Oil Painting under Eugene Hall. After a 35-year career as an artist, designer, and Vice President of Creative Services and Innovation for Parsons Corporations, Steve is now enjoying painting full-time and teaching at Chicago’s Palette and Chisel Academy of Fine Art. Steve is a member of the Laguna Plein Air Painters Association and Chicago Plein Air Painters groups. Steve enjoys demonstrating his craft throughout various local venues and has won several awards in Plein Air Painting events as well as quick painting competitions.

What’s most important? Knowing that our job as artists is not to produce a copy of the scene, but to be influenced by the scene and offer an interpretation.
Emphasis will be on discovery of Intent, (why paint this scene in the first place) What’s the Emotion behind the purpose of painting this scene over any other? We’ll dive into Design and the basics of good design and the value of having a solid design and a strong center of interest. Through value sketches, we’ll work out a plan of action. We’ll study light, mid-tone and dark value shapes to tell the best, Simplified “story” to create maximum impact. We’ll paint emotionally and with full Awareness of what is happening, and like a dance, we’ll learn to respond accordingly and to be comfortable with improvising with our art. Specific techniques will be addressed to help students make positive decisions and work through to complete paintings, all with much fun and no fear.
