WORKSHOP: "Plein Air Casein Painting" @ Henning Landmark Center

FEE: $50 Member, $60 Non-Member
$45 Member, $55 Non-Member by July 11

Plein Air Casein Painting Workshop with Greg Preslicka

Instructor: Greg Preslicka
Henning Landmark Center
July 25, 9:30am - 4:30pm

Greg is a lifelong artist working both in the commercial and fine art fields. For over 30 years he designed packaging and retail signage for many local and national companies. In an effort to get out from behind a computer he brought his design and problem solving skills to mural painting. Greg has painted over 100 murals throughout the midwest. He is one of the founding members, and past president of OPM (Outdoor Painters of Minnesota). Over the years, Greg has painted with many different mediums including oil, gouache, acrylic and casein. When plein air painting he tries to find the unseen beauty in things.

Casein Painting Workshop
Learn about an opaque medium that allows you to quickly paint and adjust without your painting getting muddy. Painting with quick drying casein allows you to work faster and get more accurate color without getting muddy. In this workshop Greg will demonstrate his paint and adjust the way of painting. When painting from life it is hard to get accurate color and drawing with every stroke you put down. With this method you paint and then adjust and refine.

Greg painted for many years with oils and had a tough time keeping colors from getting too muddy because he adjusted them too much. He is not a slow methodical painter. He puts down big shapes and refines them as he goes. Casein is opaque and dries quickly allowing you to adjust without getting muddy. Casein is an old painting medium used to paint religious icons hundreds of years ago. It is similar to gouache but dries permanent. It can be painted on paper or gessoed board.

The workshop will start with inside demonstration and then move outside to paint, where Greg will give individual instruction as you paint. You will learn:

  • How to Paint and Adjust to get more accurate color and drawing.

  • What you can and can’t do with Casein.

  • To paint from big shapes to small detail.
