Frederick Graff

 

 

 

 

Recently I took a workshop with Frederick Graff.  This was a four day workshop.  The first two days were spent explaining, demonstrating and practicing his technique of negative painting.  He also explained and had us practice making a vignette that we could develop into a painting.   Mr. Graff was very thorough in his explanations and spent a great deal of time on an individual basis with each student.  The last two days of the workshop we developed a vignette and turned them into paintings. My two finished paintings from this workshop are above.  His workshops are an excellent learning opportunity for anyone interested in landscape painting.  So often people find the "picture" but can't interpret the scene into a finished painting.  Mr. Graff did an excellent job explaining from start to finish the entire process.
