We will cover some so called “basic” elements of Drawing, Value, Color, Composition and Edges... all put into a package called “CONCEPT”, the basis for any painting that you paint. I will work with each at their own level, and will spend a lot of time students easels, giving individual instruction, and will demo everything that I ask you to do.”

| Instructor Bio: |  MARC R. HANSON, O.P.A.M. was born 1955. Having grown up in a military family, Marcs youth was spent on the move. He was born in Oxnard, California and spent some of his early school years there. But his geographical resume soon included Alaska, Florida, Arkansas, Nebraska, South Dakota and Norway. After his fathers retirement from the Air Force, Marcs family settled in the small northern California community of Loomis. Marc began college as a biology major, but soon applied to and was accepted into Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, majoring in illustration. After Art Center and a brief stint as a staff illustrator in Sacramento, California, Marc moved to Minnesota where he lived for 33 years while raising a family and pursuing his art. He currently lives near Savannah, GA on Tybee Island. I have pursued a career as a painter for many years now. Along the way my methods, materials and focus have evolved. A naturalist at heart, the landscape is the perfect vehicle for expressing the joy I have for the world that surrounds me. My real interest and challenge as a painter is how to best manipulate the core principles of painting into effective visual statements. Im most successful when Im able to communicate that joy to the viewers of my paintings. Marc teaches landscape painting workshops locally and nationally. I love working with other painters in their pursuit to better their craft. My goal is not to have them assimilate my style and technique, but to teach them how to more closely examine the subject and apply the principles that representational painters must follow to become effective visual communicators. Marc has shown his work in galleries and museums nationally and internationally since the early 1980s. He is a Master Signature Member of The Oil Painters of America (O.P.A.M.), having won an Award of Excellence at the O.P.A. National Exhibit in 2000, 2007, 2009, 2010 and 2011. In 2011 Marcs painting Right or Left was awarded Bronze Medal for Painting at the OPA National Exhibition in Coeur d Alene, ID. Among his many awards, hes placed four times in The Pastel Journals Pastel 100 competition.
