Books:  Please drop into the Art Gallery to discover a wealth of Instructional Books including Gregg Kreutz’ Book - Problem Solving for Oil Painters  $37 Weekend Workshops By Gene Prokop Following the post-secondary schooling, my greatest push in development or inspiration was seeing the works from the Russian Hermitage collection. They inspired me. The skill of the artist’s brushstrokes, the bold layers of paint and the well-orchestrated compositions were prolific. Viewing a Repin painting, one could feel the blood run through the figure in the painting, which led me to sit for hours and marvel at the talent of the artist. After returning to Edmonton, I felt cheated by some Art Schools disregarding academic techniques. I knew my job was to teach others the skills and techniques I had acquired, towards classical realism and naturalism. My own works of art focus on creating mood & rama using romantic brushstrokes of the Old Masters. To register for classes, go to, www.prosartschool.com, registration and fill out the form or call (780)486-6661 Travel Teaching Schedule: Gene will be teaching the Girl In Green.

Sherrie McGraw July 8-11, 2010 I do not use methods. They are a quick-fix that can only deliver known results wherein the richness of spontaneous response is lost. I find that any preconceived solutions unnecessarily prevent artistic development as understanding does not develop. There are principles to be learned, but instead of confining the student, understanding of these ideas creates more flexibility and increases the possibilities of growth.Ideally, the role of a teacher is to help the student see the world as shapes, value and color relationships through the language of brushstrokes. The most valuable gift a teacher gives a student is a way of thinking and understanding.
