• Two-day workshop: How to Begin a Painting, the Landscape with José Ramirez. Before starting to paint, it is natural for the artist to contemplate the subject for a while, considering the light and shade effects, studying the contrast, analyzing forms and colors, imagining what the finished picture will look like, and this way, entering the field of interpretation, where the artist imagines and mentally changes forms, contrast and color. May 4, 10:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. and May 5, 10:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Materials list available upon registration.
