Here is your chance to see the Venice of Monet, Turner, Whistler and Sargent.

We will visit the world's greatest art in the most magnificent museums and churches of Venice, the Academia, the Frari, the Museo Correr and others. We will have Tiepolo's ceilings to ourselves; explore the paintings of Titian and Tintoretto. David will show you how to paint the skies, canals, piazzas, and light of Venice just as Turner, Whistler, and Sargent did. Put your easel where they put theirs and discover the mysteries of Venice in oil, watercolor, pastel and acrylic. We will stay in a beautiful antique four-star hotel in the heart of Venice. We will dine on the canals. If you feel inclined, join David on his photography walks, in the early morning, sunset, and at twilight. Listen to the orchestrinas send their gentle music across the Piazza San Marco and cast their enchanting spell in this most magical city.

Fee: $765 | Course Code: DDMTUWTHFSU900AM8252013
Welcome to the enchantments of Mt. Desert Island, Acadia National Park, Cadillac Mountain, Bar Harbor and our own private cove in the deluxe comfort of an extraordinary seaside hotel. The Great Hudson River Painters like Frederick Church, Luminists like Fitz Hugh Lane, early modernists, expressionists and contemporary artists all found inspiration in the craggy seashore cliffs, the infinite vistas from Cadillac Mountain (there's a road, no need to hike with your gear), the cozy coves and fishing villages, the piney lakes nestled between mountains and the waves breaking on the scenic Maine shoreline. David will demonstrate historic and contemporary techniques in oil, watercolor and acrylic with a range of traditional and new tools. If you feel like a walk before breakfast, join David on his photography strolls as he catches the sunrise on Cadillac Mountain as it slowly illuminates the Turtle Islands and spreads its glow across the infinite landscape or, join him in the evening after painting as he explores the shoreline paths, captures the breakers as they explode on the rocks, shoots serene sunsets through gnarled pines and sculpted canyons of rock and discovers the afterglow of sunset on the sea.

Fee: $150 | Course Code: DDSA1000AM3162013
Capture the motion, color, forms and evanescent effects of waterfalls and waves through demonstrations in oil, acrylic and watercolor.

Learn how past masters of the seascape captured the sensation of waves collapsing on sand, crashing on rocks, weaving patterns of sea foam on beaches and, the patterns of breaking rollers. Learn how to paint the seascapes of Winslow Homer. Learn how to create the reflections, translucence, and sparkle of water in motion and stillness. The demonstrations will show you how to use your paints not only on canvas and paper but also, on alternative materials like gold leaf, Plexiglas and copper. Your instructor will provide vivid demonstrations in oil (on copper, gold and canvas), acrylic, and watercolor.

New Horizons and Old Traditions in Landscape Painting (Oil, Watercolor and Acrylic) - Workshop
5 Sessions · April 1 – April 5
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday · 10:00 am – 3:00 pm
Fee: $650 | Course Code: DDMTUWTHF1000AM412013
Learn techniques and traditions of “Old Master” landscape painters from Rembrandt to Turner, Claude of Lorraine to the American Hudson River painters, from Constable to Monet. The workshop will cover the ideas, techniques and new materials of contemporary landscape painters. For example, there will be demonstrations of the Dutch 17th Century painters that will cover their compositional ideas and their techniques for luminous translucence in oils. With the French Impressionists the demonstration will show their palette choices, their brushstrokes, their compositions and their color theories of simultaneous and successive contrast. The demonstration of the Hudson River painters will trace their European influences, drawing and design systems, as well as oil sketching techniques. We will conclude with contemporary currents in landscape painting including new materials and media. The workshop will cover centuries of historic techniques (lost systems in watercolor and oil) through daily lecture-demonstrations followed by personal attention and counsel.
