LOGAN — The Dane G. Hansen Memorial Museum takes great pride in hosting a four day painting workshop with David Vollbracht at the Dane G. Hansen Memorial Museum, 110 W. Main, Logan, Kansas. This workshop will run from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on July 6, 7, 8, and 9, 2016, with a one hour break for lunch each day. This learning opportunity is brought to you through the Hansen Museum Continued Education Program. Cost of the workshop is $150.00 with discounts available for Hansen Museum members. This workshop will stress using the fundamental elements of art and evoking a personal response to improve your painting skills. One morning the class will sketch en plein air and from that sketch develop a small oil painting in the classroom. Design, color, values, and composition will be explored as well as the more illusive but just as important elements of mood, passion, and attitude. Intermediate and advanced artists may call 785-689-4846 for more information or to register by phone.
David Vollbracht is a representational oil painter with the distinction of signature membership in Oil Painters of America. His work reflects the quality of light, nature, and spirit drawn from the land. David emphasizes the beauty and importance of the natural landscape in his compositions. He is intrigued by the patterns and shapes in nature and concentrates on the effects of light on these elements.
