I recommend hog bristle or good quality synthetic brushes for oil painting. Bring a mixture of filberts, flats, and rounds in various sizes (4, 6, 8, 10) with one sable rigger (liner). I use Robert Simmons Signet series (hog bristles) and Rosemary & Co. Ivory series (synthetic). Don’t bring worn out brushes.
- You will use 3 to 4 panels per day. Your choice of panel sizes (6x8, 8x10, 9x12) - no larger than 9x12 for this workshop. Please bring panels rather than stretched canvas and avoid panels with too “slick” a surface.
- Optional: I tone my panels with a thin wash of Liquitex Red Oxide acrylic paint wiped on with a moist paper towel.
Graham’s Walnut Alkyd Medium - a fast drying and non-toxic product; Gamblin Neo Megilp.
ODORLESS mineral spirits (Gamsol or Turpenoid). Do not bring hardware store turpentine - it is not healthy for you or the people around you.
- disposable gloves
- wet panel carrier
- bag lunch, bottled water

Your instructor is Brenda McDougall, a native Texan and award-winning alcohol ink fine artist. With her unique vision, she makes breathtaking works that capture depth, energy, and emotion.
Learn the secrets of turning colored pencil into a fine art medium. You can use your pencils to create works as rich and nuanced as any oil painting. Award-winning, world-renowned artist, Jesse Lane, guides you step by step, sharing his signature style for creating nuanced skin tones, dynamic lighting, and compelling composition. Don't miss this chance to study with one of the world's top colored pencil artists.
All skill levels welcome!
Everyone works on the same portrait as Jesse gives detailed demos and works with students one-on-one.
The workshop includes:
Since colored pencil is a very slow medium, students will not complete the portrait in this workshop. Students learn the skills to complete the portrait on their own with the detailed, step-by-step workbook. Take your art to the next level in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere!
Jesse's beautiful portraits and figurative pieces have appeared in numerous publications. Among his many honors is the world's top award for colored pencil from the Colored Pencil Society of America. Jesse grew up in The Woodlands and earned a degree in Visualization from Texas A&M. He teaches workshops around the nation and online. Jesse's work can be seen and purchased from the gallery that represents him: RJD Gallery in Romeo, MI. He lives in The Woodlands with his wife, Kinsey, also a talented artist, and their two whippets.

This popular, one-day workshop with Ken Roy will focus on the introduction and demonstration of three practical, functional approaches to sketching the figure using personal graphic language, proportion, and landmarks of the body to establish within three to five minutes a line of action, gesture, the point of balance, and the integration of the major masses of the body. This workshop is for all experience levels, ages 18 and over. Please note: Anatomically correct illustrations of the human body will be referenced during the workshop.

Supply list
Paper: Newsprint, rough or smooth, 12" x 18" or 18" x 24". Pad of 50 sheets. Drawing boards and easels, both floor and table models, will be available if you choose to use them.
Measuring tool: your drawing implement, a chopstick, or a knitting needle will work fine.
Drawing implement: your preference of charcoal pencil (2B of 4B), Nitram Fine Art Charcoal or similar product (HB or B), willow charcoal, pastel pencil or stick (hard), or Cretacolor lead holder, with either sanguine oil or Nero drawing leads. A marker is not a good choice because it will bleed through the paper, and this will make the reverse side unfit for drawing.
Optional: kneaded eraser or chamois; sand block or Nitram sanding paddle.
This BRAND NEW 3-day workshop is debuting at CAL! It will focus on painting from direct observation. Each day, the class will explore a different subject.
Day 1 - the still life
Day 2 - the figure from a live model
Day 3 - the portrait sketch from a live model
By emphasizing accuracy in drawing, values, edges, texture, and color, students will learn to paint alla prima (all at once), with dynamic brushwork and texture, achieving energetic and engaging paintings. All skill levels are welcome, even if you've never painted from life before. While Patrick will be demonstrating in oil paint, acrylics and pastels are also welcome.
Class size is limited to 14, so that each student can receive the maximum amount of interaction with the instructor. Patrick's CAL workshops ALWAYS fill up, so register quickly. Patrick will send a list of suggested supplies after you register.

Join Argentinian artist Carolina Dalmas for an engaging and liberating artistic experience where you'll harness the power of spontaneity and intention to create compelling pastel artworks. This workshop offers both structured learning and creative freedom, ensuring a rewarding journey into the world of soft pastels.
During this workshop, we will paint a still life "alla prima" (completing it in one session). In this way, you will achieve freshness and joy. Instruction will cover composition and lighting of a still life, shapes, value, edges, color harmony, and movement.
Carolina creates art with a deep connection to nature. She encourages her students to observe the world as if they are seeing it for the first time. Acrylics and pastels are her favorite mediums. Recently, one of her pastel still lifes was awarded first place in the Pastel 100 Competition, hosted by Pastel Journal.
