NC Painter William Jameson Offers " Working Large" Workshop

March 20 - 22: Working Large: Conquer Your Fear.  Leave your comfort zone and enjoy working a little or a lot larger than your usual sizes. Become adept at making larger as well as better paintings and discover why some compositions are meant to be small works and others translate beautifully to a larger format.

This 3 day studio workshop will be a fun and intensive exploration of handling a large canvas. Participants will learn how to select compositions that "work" for large scale paintings and how to execute them without letting the size intimidate. Painters will work in their choice of acrylic or oil.

The workshop will begin with a "get acquainted party" on Wednesday evening, March 19th at the Jameson home and studio. Each painting day will start with conversation related to studio technique over coffee, tea and pastries. There will be daily demonstrations working on a large painting. There will be a break for lunch ("Dutch") and conversation at one of Saluda's delightful cafes. This workshop is limited to 12 participants so register early with your deposit of $100.00. For more information,  visit www.williamjameson.com or call Bill at 828-749-3101 or email billj@williamjameson.com.

Born in Honea Path, South Carolina, William Jameson always felt strong ties to his native region. Today, he and his wife, Anne, also a painter (www.annejamesonfineart.com), reside and paint in Saluda NC. 

Bill credits growing-up surrounded by the natural beauty and rich history of South Carolina with inspiring his childhood ambitions of becoming an artist. After studying with Frank Rampola at the Ringling School of Art in Florida, Jameson continued his studies while teaching landscape painting and life drawing as a graduate assistant at the Instituto Allende in San Miguel de Allende in Mexico. Bill has drawn inspiration from a wide array of bodies of work, ranging from the drypoint etchings of American landscape artist, Chauncey Foster Ryder to the Renaissance masterpieces of Titian.
