Thomas Kitts: Mentor Paint Out, April 23rd

April 4, 2022 by Toni Kellenberg

Thomas Kitts LPAPA Paint Out 2022

LPAPA is pleased to present a LPAPA Mentor Paint Out that includes a Painting Demonstration & Critique Session with Signature Artist Thomas Jefferson Kitts on Saturday April 23, 2022 (9:00 am to 2:00 pm) at Irvine Regional Park. 

The focus of this LPAPA Paint-Out will be on your classic California sycamore trees in Irvine Regional Park. We will approach the trees as if they are human figures that bend, tilt, twist, and foreshorten; similar to how the human body turns toward and away from you in a life pose. Your goal is to learn how to create the illusion of volume and space around and within the tree and this approach can be applied to other Southern California vegetation, such as the eucalyptus, pin oaks, and hardwoods.
 
Thomas will demo in oil but this paint-out is open to ALL media. You may work in oil, acrylic, gouache, pastel, or watercolor. You can simplify your effort even more by drawing with a value-based media instead, such as graphite or soft vine charcoal on a medium size paper. (Be sure to bring a sharpener and clean kneadable eraser if you draw.) You will have two hours to paint or draw after the demo. We will then have a short group critique.

Please be prepared to work hard because Thomas promises to cover a lot of ground!

This 5-hour mentor session requires advance registration and will be limited to 15 participants. The park has a $5.00 entry fee to pay when you enter. Further details with the meet-up location will be provided to registrants.

Date/Time: Saturday April 23, 2022, 9:00 am to 2:00 pm
Registration Fee: $30.00 for LPAPA Members or $45 for NonMembers *

Let’s paint and grow together!
