Integrative Workshop #4 with Beverly Lazor

Integrative Master Workshops

Integrative master workshops are for those who have taken the lead-up sessions of the Painter's Toolkit to integrate and practice what they have learned. Artists with intermediate to advanced skill levels who have not taken the Toolkit series are also invited to join these workshops and strengthen their grasp of these timeless concepts with our master instructors. Materials will be provided.

Workshop #4 - Composition, Value, & Color: Design as the Foundation
with Beverly Lazor
Saturday, June 6 - extended hours: 10:00 to 4:00 with break 

This Integrative Workshop serves as the capstone experience of The Painter’s Toolkit. The workshop emphasizes composition and value as the primary drivers of successful painting, with color introduced only after strong structural decisions are established.

Students work through a disciplined, sequential process —thumbnail → notan → drawing → value → color — to create paintings that are clear, intentional, and unified. The focus is not on style or novelty, but on making fewer, stronger decisions and learning to edit ruthlessly in service of design.

Per Workshop Fees:
BAA Members: $79 per workshop
Non-Members: $89 per workshop
