Studio Workshop with Calvin Liang AISM

Instructor and Awards Judge Calvin Liang

Learn from AIS Master Calvin Liang as he teaches a one day workshop. Time will be spent working on a single studio painting based on photos you take on location. Calvin will begin a slideshow to show how he uses the photo as a reference for the painting followed by a demo. Calvin will spend the remaining time with each student throughout the rest of the day. You may bring a laptop/tablet or color prints of your reference photos.

1. How to plan a composition that will be effective for the artist’s intentions

and references

2. How to better see and use warm and cool color in landscape

3. How to command hardness and softness of the edges to create space in a

painting

4. How to simplify the subject matter throught the use of basic design, value,

color and drawing skills

5. How to consider the reasons for different paint surface textures, and

brushstroke direction over the forms

6. How to get the best possible results in a short time.
