Please note:
Rauschenberg Medical Emergency Grants are not for lost wages, living expenses, or medical care for individuals other than the artist. Visit NYFA’s Emergency Resources page for a regularly-updated list of emergency resources.

In this spirit, this program is designed to serve artists in financial need who otherwise may delay critical treatment or incur substantial and perhaps overwhelming debt.

Exploring Color & Light with Oil Painting
Dana Lombardo
October 10 & 11, 2025
Friday & Saturday 9 - 4 PM
$350/person

Supply Listed at https://terrarosagallery.com/workshops

Join Dana to explore the essential foundations of light and color in painting. Demonstrations will be in oil, but other painting mediums are welcome.

Some experience in painting is required.

The class will begin each morning and afternoon with a short lecture, a demo, hands-on painting, and individual instruction.

On Day One:
In the morning, you will learn about color and light and how they affect values, color mixing, and light and shadow. I will discuss palette options and how to decide what to use in your painting. You will then use your color palette to create your color reference charts.

In the afternoon, I will demonstrate how to create a color card for the photo reference you will use in your painting and show techniques for starting a basic monochromatic underpainting of lights, middles, and darks. You will then finish your color charts/cards and start underpainting them from the photo reference.

On Day Two:
In the morning, I will demonstrate how to start the color layer for the painting using what we learned the previous day. Following the demo, you will work on your painting with one-on-one instruction.

In the afternoon, I will demonstrate finishing techniques (scumbling, glazing, etc.), adding details, and how to critique your painting for adjustments. You will complete your painting with one-on-one instruction following the demo.

If time permits, we will have a group critique and review of your completed painting at the end of the second day.

DESCRIPTION:

Artist INC Express helps artists, of any discipline, develop the building blocks for a thriving and enduring arts practice.

Led by a team of experienced, working artists, this hands-on workshop helps artists like you address specific needs and challenges that you’ll face throughout your career. Through discussions, activities, and hands-on exercises, your artist-facilitators, and your new network of peer artists, will help you set goals for your practice, write about your work, and build a personal brand.

Artist INC Express is a slimmed down, yet still highly active, version of the popular eight-week Artist INC Live program , which has been completed by more than 2,000 artists since 2009. Artist INC Express explores those same core concepts of how to build a lasting arts practice in a shorter, more flexible format, to help reach a broader audience of artists.

If you sign on for Artist INC Express, you are asked to commit to the entire workshop, as exercises build on one another and participants develop deep relationships with their fellow artists over the sessions. Be ready to participate throughout in group discussions, hands-on exercises, and small group work.

And just know, it’s not over when it’s over. Right away, Artist INC Express activates a network of artists in your community, leading to more peer-to-peer resource sharing, collaborations, and support long after the workshop concludes.
