Painting Workshop with Susan Mayfield   

The afternoon workshop will be a discussion and application of solutions and methods students can use to push value contrasts, utilize color schemes, choose more interesting compositions, develop a more effective way of telling your “story.”     

ABOUT Susan:    “I grew up and spent most of my life in the semi-tropics of the Lowcountry of South Carolina, a place of great mystery and beauty, where the marshes, rivers, and swamps provided endless subject matter for my paintings.  Ten years ago, I moved to the high mountain desert of Colorado, another stunning location where water is more scarce, but its power is evident in every canyon and mountain range there, and the plein air painting is fantastic.  I am grateful to live in and paint both of these geographies.  I paint mostly in pastel, its immediacy and luminosity is hard to match.”
