Oil Painting Impressionism Workshop

July 29 @ 9:00 AM

Join us for a two-day Oil Painting Impressionism Workshop with artist and instructor Nathaniel Spates on Monday & Tuesday, July 29 & 30 from 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM in Brazosport Art League studio! The registration fee includes instruction and most supplies, and is $110 for BAL members and $135 for non-members. This workshop is open to all levels of artists. REGISTER NOW! The workshop will mostly focus on landscapes, including skies, flowers, trees, fields, mountains, water and villages, and include multiple demonstrations of Nathaniel's style, which can be described as abstract, impressionistic and gestural with lots of bright colors and texture. Each student will produce one to three original oil paintings over the course of the workshop, depending on how much time each artist spends on their paintings! Please bring brushes, paper towels and disposable gloves (optional). If you have a favorite color you would like to use or a specific canvas size, please bring these items, but they are not required. We will take an hour break each day for lunch. Nathaniel was the winner of Brazosport Art League's top student honor in 2023, the Bruce Good Memorial Scholarship Award, and is currently studying studio art and game design at Samford University in Alabama. A note from Nathaniel about the class: This class is going to be fun, engaging and educational! I will begin each day with a demonstration covering the color theory, and other important nuances of abstract impressionistic painting. I will also give a few short talks about various techniques and important concepts (compositional, conceptual, and application). Then we will begin working on a piece. Full creative freedom is given to each individual student to paint whatever kind of landscape they desire; we will likely spend a considerable amount of time the first day designing the composition of our pieces. Students are encouraged to produce as many original oil paintings as possible!

July 29 @ 6:30 PM

Monday, July 29 and Tuesday, July 30 6:30 PM Freeport LNG Theater Show dates are September 13-15 & 20-22   Director: Becky Gore-LaRoche (Contact Becky with questions at 979-292-4151.) Producer: Mary Meyers   Cast requirements: 6 men and 2 women Ages and ethnicity are not integral to the storyline, but it must be believable that the 6 men are friends!   Details: Auditions will consist of cold readings.   Setting:  Summer in New York City, 1960s   About the play: Neil Simon’s classic comedy opens as a group of the guys are in the midst of their weekly poker game in the apartment of divorced sportswriter, Oscar Madison. And if the mess is any indication, it's no wonder that his wife left him. The apartment is smoke-filled, and the only thing Oscar can offer his guests is warm Coke and moldy sandwiches. The last to arrive is Felix Ungar, who has just been thrown out by his wife. Felix is depressed and seems suicidal, leading Oscar to invite Felix to be his roommate. As Felix takes on the domestic mantle in the apartment and proves just how difficult he is to live with, Oscar is driven to the edge of madness. Poker nights are no longer evenings of smoke, grubbiness, and blokey behavior; instead, the guys are waited on hand and foot by Felix. The final straw occurs when Felix refuses to follow through with a double-date Oscar has set up with the beautiful Pigeon sisters, who live in the same apartment block. The clean freak and the slob come to blows. Audiences will love how the ultimate ‘Odd Couple’ resolves the hysterical conflict! This classic Neil Simon play was the 1965 Tony winner for Best Author of a play and a nominee for Best Play.
