John Budicin: September 17-24, 2020, Tuscany

November 4, 2019 by Toni Kellenberg

Join LPAPA Signature Artist John Budicin for a 5-day Open Air Italy Plein Air Painting Workshop for oil and acrylic painters. Master artist and teacher, John Budicin, is teaching for five full days. There is one free day for exploration, painting on your own, or just chilling out! The workshop is open to all levels, but, students should have basic knowledge of how to set up and transport their equipment.

The essence of Budicin’s teaching in this workshop will be how to simplify and unify shapes and values. This is step one. Step two: introduce the light source. Step 3: keep the light consistent and do not chase it as you work toward completing the painting.

In John’s own words – “Learning to see and respond to what nature presents us with and translating that into a personal statement will be our focus. Design will be an important part. Simply stated, ‘design is good taste’. I can only show you my approach. I don’t want to have you paint as I do. I want you to develop your own way of seeing. Paint what you see, but mostly paint what you feel!”

The workshop is open to a maximum of 8 participants in order to allow highly individualized attention, regardless of the student’s level of painting expertise! John will demonstrate in oil, but the workshop is suitable for oil and acrylic.

Tuition: $2,500-$2,950
Date(s): September 17-24, 2020
Location: Tuscany’s Val D’Orcia, Italy

Featured Signature Artist: Kathleen Hudson

November 1, 2019 by Toni Kellenberg

Kathleen B. Hudson of Lexington, Kentucky
LPAPA’s November 2019 featured Signature Artist Member of the Month.

Click these links for: LPAPA Plein Talk Q&As with Kathleen Hudson & Artwork Showcase, plus see more of Kathleen’s artwork at KathleenBHudson.com.

Kathleen B. Hudson lives and paints in Lexington, KY, where she has a studio at Artists’ Attic. Hudson is a Signature Member of the American Society of Marine Artists and the Laguna Plein Air Painters Association, and she is an Artist Member of the Copley Society of Art in Boston, MA. In 2017, Hudson received the Grand Prize in the 6th Annual PleinAir Salon for her painting Bright Morning, Timberline Falls, which was featured on the July 2017 cover of PleinAir Magazine. The same month Southwest Art named her an “Artist to Watch.”

Hudson moved from her native Kentucky to Boston in the fall of 2005 to begin an undergraduate degree at Harvard University. During her years in Boston, Hudson came to love the beautiful New England landscape as she painted, studied mountain travel narratives, and led backpacking trips for fellow students. After graduating, she was selected to join Boston’s Copley Society of Art, the oldest non-profit art association in America.

In 2013, Hudson returned to her hometown of Lexington and began to take part in regional plein air painting festivals. She now undertakes several national juried competitions each year, and when she’s not outside painting from life, you can find her in the studio creating larger scale landscapes that emphasize the dynamic interplay of light, shadow, and atmospherics.

Featured Artist: Pierre Bouret

Pierre Bouret of Princeville, Hawaii
LPAPA’s November 2019 Artist Member of the Month

Click the links for: LPAPA Plein Talk Q&As with Pierre Bouret & Artwork Showcase, plus see more of Pierre’s artwork at ArtKauai.com.

Pierre Bouret moved to Kauai in 1970 to pursue his passion for surfing. Once on island, he was captivated by the beauty and magnificence of the surrounding landscape. These images inspired him to paint Kauai in plein air in all her natural splendor. Hawaii’s mountains, waterfalls cascading into the ever changing sea and moments of magical light and shadow have provided an endless source of material for his Hawaii paintings.

Bouret’s plein air paintings are characterized by colorful, light filled canvases, which capture fleeting moments in ordinary life and memorialize the beauty of Hawaii’s landscapes and coastline.
