Just in time for the holiday season, Fredrick Guess is happy to announce first quarter dates for 2010 Color Your World Impressionist workshops.  The workshops will be hosted in the Fredrick Guess Studio, at 910 Royal Street in the French Quarter.

The dates Freddie has chosen are:
January 11th – 15th & 18th – 232nd, then March 1st – 5th  .

 
 

Participants of past workshops have hailed Guess’ ability to involve each individual’s creative muse in every step of the painting process.  Almost everyone who has ever taken a workshop under Guess’ tutelage returns for more.  Many have credited him with a distinct ability to open emergent artists to seeing the world around them in ways they’d never before dreamed.

The holidays often present gift-giving dilemmas.  What is just the right gift that’s something that recognizes just how special that certain someone is?  It must be personal.  It should show respect. And, the best gifts have an endurance that will be remembered for a long time to come.  The gift of a life changing, life enhancing, learning experience can’t be topped.  For that special loved one, may we recommend giving him or her the opportunity to explore a new facet of personal growth through Color Your World?

Each session of the Color Your World workshops runs Monday through Friday, from 9:30 a.m. to about 4:00 p.m.  Guess will guide participants through all aspects of introductory painting including setting up a color wheel and palette, composing an image, capturing light and shadow and so much more.

Season’s Greetings to you and yours!

Freddie has decided to give a special shortened workshop for August 2009!

The dates are:

August 10th– 12th
 
This will be a separate workshop from the August 3rd to 7th class, which is filled*. But we've had such incredible interest in the Color Your World series that Guess feels that doing a mini-session would give more people a chance to join in the fun.

Color Your World workshops are always limited to small groups, allowing Guess to work with each participant individually. Often, the workshops are composed of people of all experience levels who show their widely varied styles, lending to an increased air of creativity. Participants of past workshops have hailed Guess' ability to involve each person's creative muse in every step of the painting process. Many of those who have enjoyed learning under Guess' tutelage return to gain more from his inspiring techniques. The list of emergent artists who credit him with awakening their talents continues to grow, with several of his former and current students gaining artistic notoriety for themselves.

Guess' instruction covers all aspects of introductory oil painting. Participants will learn how to lay out a color wheel and mix a palette, how to compose an image, techniques for capturing light and shadow, how to use a painting knife effectively, learn to experiment with various brush strokes, how to choose the right frame, and much, much more.

Each day of the Color Your World workshops lasts from 9:30 a.m. to about 4:00 p.m., with a one hour lunch break. There is no deposit required to register, but please let us know if you must cancel.

For more information, please contact us at 504.581.4596 or info@FredrickGuessStudio.com and we will be happy to work with you.

We hope you'll join us for these exciting classes!

You ask, Fredrick Guess delivers!
Shorter workshops in September.

The dates are:

September 9, 10 & 11; 12 & 13; 14 - 18
 
With so many have requests for more flexible dates for Color Your World that Fredrick Guess has set aside two special weeks in September. What makes these workshops so special is the way he has arranged the dates to make shorter sessions (including one weekend!) available to those who have a hard time getting away from their busy lives. The first workshop will be a three day, Wednesday through Friday session, followed by a Saturday and Sunday session. Then, Guess will offer a full five day session on the regular Monday through Friday schedule.

Working with small groups of participants allows Guess to assist everyone individually. Composed of people of all experience levels, Color Your World creates the kind of ambiance that encourages developing artists to grow at their own pace and in their own direction. Participants of past workshops have hailed Guess' ability to involve each person's muse in every step of the painting process. Many of those who have enjoyed learning under Guess' tutelage return again and again to draw from his inspiring techniques. The list of emergent artists who credit him with awakening their talents continues to grow, with several of his former and current students gaining artistic notoriety for themselves.

Guess' instruction covers all aspects of introductory oil painting. Participants will learn how to lay out a color wheel and mix a palette (demonstrated on the 9th, 12th, and 14th), how to compose an image, techniques for capturing light and shadow, how to use a painting knife effectively, learn to experiment with various brush strokes, how to choose the right frame, and much, much more.

Each day of the Color Your World workshops lasts from 9:30 a.m. to about 4:00 p.m., with a one hour lunch break. There is no deposit required to register, but please let us know if you must cancel.

Fredrick Guess' generosity is exemplified in his donations to charities and non-profits. On average, his donated paintings generate over $25,000 annually for organizations ranging from PBS and the American Cancer Society to Save Our Cemeteries and Lazarus House, to name a few. In 2006, Guess called together several friends to do a fundraiser for the Musicians' Village being built by Habitat for Humanity. That event alone raised around $27,000.
