Sarasota Workshop

On the way home I stop in Sarasota and taught a small class on landscape and color. This was a great chance to see some of Sarasota and see what my old roommate Kyle Ringquist was painting.

Pretty much everyone was a beginner painter, however  interested in color and landscape painting. No one had easels, paints of palettes.  Kyle and I we whipped up six easels and six palettes. It was a lot of fun and just goes to show simple you can create a painting with a few simple tools.

I stayed on a few days and worked with Kyle in his studio. Kyle works in verso on plexiglas. His paintings are in reverse order. His method of painting is interesting being painted front to back and when it's finished has a brilliant result. 
Kyle and I also made some screen prints in his studio. 
Kyle's work can be viewed at the Kyle Ringquist Gallery at 349 Commercial Street in Provincetown.
