  • Where does inspiration come from? 
  • What procedures get you to a creative place? 
  • How do you infuse feeling, substance, resonance and great color in your work? 
  • How do you discover your own unique voice as a painter
  • What do you do if your painting is boring, busy, or needs drama, content, excitement, clean color or a more powerful composition? 
  • Are you chasing correctness or poetry? 
  • What ten vital questions do you ask yourself in critiquing your paintings? 
  • When is a painting finished?
Participate in this class for answers to these and other important questions. Joseph Melançon, with a long career of teaching and winner of 25 national awards for his work, can help you break out and go where you haven’t gone before with your painting. Students of all levels are invited to paint on paper canvas or panels in their chosen subject matter and style. His instruction will include demonstrations and constructive critiques.

A PARTNERSHIP FOR OUR ENVIRONMENT
ACS is proud to continue its partner-ship with the Sarasota Conservation Foundation at Bay Preserve. We have joined forces to celebrate art and the environment. Once again we're offer-ing plein air classes at the lovely Bay Preserve at Osprey (see above) as well as a meditative day retreat. Next season we hope to offer ongoing courses in the historic Carriage House on this breathtaking bayfront estate. The ACS at Bay Preserve Initiative aims to generate environmental awareness using the universal lan-guage of art as a catalyst to promote understanding and connection to the beauty of, and challenges facing, our native environment. The fusion of art and environment is a powerful syner-gistic tool for learning and positive social change.
