JAMES R. SPURLOCK PAINTING WORKSHOP
January 23rd and 24th
9am to 4pm

James will be our demonstration artist at the January 13th meeting at 6pm. Anyone is welcome to attend. You can also see his work in Shanley House Gallery until December 31st.

In this workshop James will pass on information that will give artists keener observational skills so that they better understand what they are actually seeing.This may sound complicated but it’s not. Once the artist knows how to break the problems down, solving them is a lot easier. It’s not the same x pattern material as last time. However, the information in this workshop will be a whole new set of interesting thought patterns!

The first day will be spent on learning the new material and practicing it. There will be an emphasis on form and shape and an introduction to 3rd dimensional geometric drawing. This can be applied not only to drawing and painting but even to sculpting. If you want to advance your skills in order to take your art to the next level, this workshop will help you do that! Learning color mixing will also be covered.


The second day will be working on an actual art project. This can be a project you are currently working on or a project you want to start. Feel free to bring a piece you are working on at home. For example, you may have hit a wall and just can't seem to get beyond it. This can be either in concept thinking, actual art techniques, or another problem. James will help with problem solving it on the second day.

This is an art adventure! If it were easy everyone would be doing it. It takes courage to learn something new. And James will guide you through these waters.

ABOUT THE ARTIST:

"Art is just a series of adjustments...and Life is Art."

James R.Spurlock has painted and sculpted his way to a very fulfilling niche for himself in the art world. Today he is a teacher as well as an artist who passes on his experience in art  to many seminar and private students across the country. As a bronze sculptor, he has not limited himself to just life sized memorial busts but continues to sculpt bronzes that portray what life means to him and the clients that he 'speaks' for. Such is an artist's passion.  Color, value, drawing and edges,..."art is just a series of adjustments...and Life is Art."  James is mostly a self taught artist but one of the people he gives credit to for most of "the good stuff" he knows about his art is the consummate master artist of Carthage, Missouri, Bob Tommey.  What a mentor this man and artist has been to many of  "the big guys" in art today.  He started about half of all the good art shows, art organizations and an art institute or two. He is one of the very best painters there is!  Thank you, Bob Tommey, from all the artists you have helped down through the tough years to this very day!
