It is with great excitement that I can announce that I have the honor of hosting my friend the master muralist Pascal Amblard, for a special painting workshop at Lynne Rutter Studio in San Francisco. Tiepolo-inspired painting by Pascal Amblard You've read more about Pascal Amblard's work here before, and hopefully bought his amazing book, Painted Homes, which explores the wide variety of his elegant work as a muralist and decorator. A sought-after mural artist working internationally from his studio in la Haute-Savoie,  Pascal is also well known as a generous and skilled teacher.  I am thrilled to host him in my own mural studio this summer for what we have been calling the "dream class!" October 1-6 2018      Six day Mural Master Class This course will give those wishing to improve their mural painting skills, an opportunity to work at a grand scale,  learn mural design, drafting, and painting techniques for creating large scale works. A preview of the type of composition we will create together ; the architecture and landscapes are borrowed from Tiepolo's frescoes in Palazzo Labbia, and the figures from his son, Giandomenico. We will use similar elements and come up with our own murals. Pascal says:"After more than 25 years in this business I am finally organizing a "start from scratch" class. Pascal Amblard with his demonstration mural It is certainly the most valuable learning situation for students, and the most difficult for a teacher. Instead of starting to play a well mapped out part,  I will start improvising with you!   I know in which key we will play and what note to use or to avoid but I will be open to your ideas and suggestions. I will show you how I myself compose, mixing current and centuries-old techniques. We will share and experience together in what is so rarely taught: how do we get from a blank piece of wall to a spectacular, harmonious and desirable mural composition. "I will teach you the techniques I have used and refined through hundreds of murals.  As we have a lot of working space, we will do this on a grand scale.  Each person will have room to work comfortably." This class emphasizes design and individual style as well as efficient painting techniques.
