This
is a chance to work indoors at Stan's working studio in town, instead of the normal
outdoor class. We will work from other paintings you have done, photos, models
and still life and cover many of the possibilities of pastel in the studio. Beginner
to intermediate. 8-5 daily
Class
is limited to 12 All levels welcome. Reception is open to all attendees and guest.
This workshop will focus
on the landscape both in the studio and outdoors (weather permitting). There will
be many discussions and demonstrations on the very exciting ways to work with
the medium. Stan will work closely with each attendee giving constant advice and
critiques. Students of all levels are encouraged to join as Sperlak's teaching
methods can challenge an established artist and inspire the beginner. This will
be a fun and invigorating workshop, sure to change the way you use pastels. The
group will try to have an evening get together each night. Upon registration, directions, lodging and itinerary will be sent. This class will spend time in the canyons, mountains and fields nearby, along the Platte River and in the Red Rocks State Park. Download

609-827-6423 $325 for three days A
three day spring workshop, from Monday to Wednesday. The Cape is coming to life
in the spring and the weather is usually at its best these weeks, lots of spring
growth and the marshes changing color. The beach is quiet and often calm. This
is a good opportunity to work with Stan directly at his farm, and possibly surrounding
landscape of Avalon, Stone Harbor or Cape May. As always there will be plenty
of demos, and advice. Many good restaurants are open and there are no waits. Class
is limited to 12. All levels welcome. Reception is open to all attendees and guest. Workshop
attendees are encouraged to come in on Sunday for an afternoon hike with a demo/orientation
at the Crow Creek Farm Cottage. Each day will cover different motifs and we will
have demos of various methods. Wednesday will end after a late lunch with a group
critique. (we will include a model)
This is a chance
to work with a very small class & shoreline scenery. I plan on working with
all the motifs of the ocean, beach, boats, marsh & resort.
This
is a two and three day workshop on Thurs-Sat from 8-4 at locations in the general
Annapolis area to be announced (landscape/waterway) that follows an optional Wed
evening demonstration/reception at the gallery or other location from 6-9PM. Painting
locations will be announced as we get signups as I would like to cater to the
students as to where they live and can stay. Last year we did Eastern Shore, we
may again, or Calvert Cliffsor along the Severn River.We will have a model for
one day. This workshop follows the same premise that the ones above do. Three
days of art, painting, history, nature, life, framing, business and the joy of
painting outdoors.
Three day
fall workshops Mon-Wed. The Cape is slower in the fall and the weather is always
warm in October with late season crops and the marshes changing color. The beach
is deserted but often calm. This is a good opportunity to work with Stan directly
at his farm, and possibly the landscape of northern Cape May County. As always
there will be plenty of demos, and advice. Many good restaurants remain open and
there are no waits. Class is limited to 10. One
day class $125. (Monday only) Click

Three
Day Outdoor Workshop A
two/three day plus workshop in the footsteps of the Pennsylvania Impressionists.
Starts with an evening get together and demo/lecture on Thursday the 7th and three
full days of painting outdoors and in studio. We will be working on the grounds
of historic sites and nearby parks, all levels welcome. Lots of demos, critiques
and one on one help. 8-4 each day FINAL NOTES: As with all my multi-day workshops, I understand people need to travel, some have other commitments and some can't take off weekdays or weekends, so I allow for flexible enrollment. The only hitch is I tend to cover a lot on the first day/reception such as materials, techniques and planning. And all multi day workshops end with a critique, which again for some is very important and brings it all together. *Usually on the second day, we have a model, both nude and clothed. I can take flexible/tentative reservations, but the workshops will fill up quickly, so let me know ASAP! Also, most of these workshops include a very fun pre-workshop afternoon/evening of talk and hospitality/demo and we usually go out together to eat during the workshops. Master
& Advanced classes require 2 prior workshops as we move into more involved
techniques and experiments. In lieu of the workshops, students may email images
of their work for review. Please
be sure to read the FINE PRINT! Registration
