Level: All Levels
5-Day Outdoor/Studio Class

Stanley Maltzman, PSA, leads you through a discovery of the drama in nature while teaching you about composition, values, color, perspective, and pastel techniques. Attention to each student’s needs is a very important part of Stan’s daily teaching. He shows you how to select a scene from the panoramic views confronting you and work it into a pleasing picture. Stan also demonstrates how to use sketching and notes as references to complete the creative process in the studio. As an avid plein air artist, Stan looks forward to presenting you with a fresh perspective of the beauty of the
surrounding Catskill region landscape.

Stan is a highly acclaimed landscape artist, author, and educator. He is the author of three popular books, Drawing Nature, Drawing Trees, and the Art of Stanley Maltzman. Stanley’s sensitive portrayals of nature reveal an intimacy with the Catskill Mountain landscape attained through over 40 years of observation and work. He has thoroughly enjoyed sharing these rich experiences with his many students over the years.

Stanley recently was awarded the Diane B Bernhard, Art Spirit Foundation Award - the gold medal for excellence in pastel, by the Hudson Valley Art Association at their 79th Annual National Exhibition at The National Art Club in New York, NY. He was also invited by the Academic Artists to exhibit in the 60th Anniversary Invitational Exhibition at the beautiful Michele and Donald D'Amour Museum of Fine Arts in Springfield, MA.
