Workshops - Opaque Watermedia - LIVE IN GALLERY WORKSHOP

Opaque Watermedia - LIVE IN GALLERY WORKSHOP

   Artwork by Danny Griego.  Artwork by Danny Griego

  The goal of this workshop is to help demystify the mediums of casein, gouache, acrylic and water miscible oil paint. Each medium behaves in a different way and you will learn the process of how to manage the application of paint to get the effect you desire. I will help you to interpret your subject by using color and light to give form. The workshop will focus on shapes, edges and the importance of composition and drawing. There will be a brief demo each day with routine student instruction.

 I received my BA in Theatrical Scene Design and Scenic Art at the University of Northern Colorado. With over 35 years’ experience in the theater as a Charge Scenic Artist, I helped many Designers and Directors realize their vision by implementing a variety of painted and sculpted elements for hundreds of productions. Many of the shows I worked on have even graced Broadway stages.

My artwork has led me to a life of plein air and studio landscapes. Though I paint most anything in front of me, I find true inspiration in cityscape and urban themes; where metal, wood and concrete meet nature.

I am blessed to have won awards at the Door County plein air Invitational, Telluride Plein Air Festival, Borrego Springs Invitational, En Plein Air Texas, Paint San Clemente Plein Air Festival and the Maui Invitational. Other plein air festivals include Carmel, Sonoma and Oceanside. I am an Artist Member in the California Art Club and my paintings have appeared in several California Art Club Gold Medal Exhibits. I am also a signature member of the Laguna Plein Air Painters Association. My paintings have won numerous gallery awards and I am blessed to have been featured in various publications. Currently I work at UCSD Theater & Dance as a scenic artist for the grad program, and I teach plein air classes for UCSD Extended Studies.
