SUMMARY:Alla Prima Figure Workshop with Melissa Tychonievich:  7/25/2026 - 7/26/2026
DESCRIPTION:“The term “Alla Prima” is a traditional French art term that translates to “all at once\,” and this describes the process of painting directly onto the white canvas without the use of a drawing or underpainting. In this two-day oil painting workshop\, students will work from the live model in one long pose using a traditional Alla Prima painting process. Students will learn the basics of how to balance form\, color\, value\, and brushwork while rendering the human figure from life. Each day\, the workshop will begin with a demonstration on how to start/continue the painting and then students will work individually with personalized feedback from the instructor.\n” \nSupply ListHeartland Art Club Members: Enter the member discount code to get 10% off at checkout.\nForgot the discount code? Check your email first—we send members a quarterly email reminder with the member discount code.

His paintings consist primarily of landscapes\, portraits\, still lifes and urban depictions. \nHe views nature as a reflection of God’s character\, so he has a deep connection with the great outdoors. When Gino is not working in his studio\, he can be found painting on location en plein air where he makes small studies for larger pieces. \nHis work adorns the walls of private and public collections around the world\, such as Baltusrol Country Club in Springfield\, NJ and Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. \nemail:  gino@ginosantamaria.com \nhttps://www.ginosantamaria.com

SUMMARY:Taking Command of Your Scene en Plein Air with Shawn Cornell: 10/24/2026 - 10/25/2026
DESCRIPTION:“But that’s how it looked.” is a common cry from artists when defending any stumbling blocks in their paintings. This is one of the earliest excuses artists learn to lean on. It’s a favorite crutch best discarded since art is about creating\, not copying. In this two day\, plein air\, landscape workshop we will focus on strengthening those creative legs\, elevating the imagination and ditching the crutch of “But that’s how it looked.” \nAdditional discussions will touch on:\n• The importance of “Thinking More Before Painting More” – TM • PM\n• Contrast in your paintings beyond just value contrasts\n• Talking to yourself\, constantly asking yourself questions and the importance of self-critiquing\n• Simple tips in dealing with painting outsides in Mother Nature’s ever-changing conditions \nDuring the workshop\, we’ll be having lots of fun doing lots of thinking and painting. During the first day we’ll talk a little\, I’ll demo a little\, and you’ll be painting and sketching a lot. The second day will be a bit of the same in the morning and then you’ll have several hours to create your masterpiece (no pressure). At 2:30\, we will pack-up and go to The Galleries at the Heartland Art Club for more conversions and your painting’s critique. We’ll also have some drawings for any of my demos that survive the weekend. \nHeartland Art Club Members: Enter the member discount code to get 10% off at checkout.\nForgot the discount code? Check your email first—we send members a quarterly email reminder with the member discount code.

His paintings are neither cutting edge nor deep in metaphorical meaning\, they’re simply stories about brief moments that he has experienced and witnessed during his excursions. He hopes these stories connect with the viewer\, sparking a fond memory\, a sense of familiarity or a bit of humor. Each painting is documented with its location\, date\, time of day\, weather conditions\, and brief observations about the day. Many have referred to this documentation as the painting’s birth certificate. \nEmail:  mshawncornellstudio@gmail.com \nWebsite:  mshawncornellstudio.com
