Nationally Renowned Artist Clayton J. Beck III will be returning to the Palette & Chisel to hold his 12th annual summer workshop.

This workshop is intended to help the beginner and advanced painters alike with the difficult concepts involved in painting from life. These classes are designed to be taken as a whole, but may be taken as individual weeks and the student will still receive a complete course in that particular subject.

Class size is limited and those who are signing up for the entire course will take precedence over those signing up for individual courses for class placement. A total of $1800 is for all 4 workshops (includes a 10% discount for those who sign up for all 4 classes) plus an additional model fee of approximately $9 per day. Clayton’s workshops elsewhere would run $3,000 for this, so be sure to take advantage of this discount only available at the P&C.

Week 1 – Five values (ala Sargent)

Week 2 – Brush technique (ala Mancini)

Week 3 – Brush technique (ala Fechin)

Week 4 – Facial Expressions

After graduation from the American Academy of Art in Chicago, Clayton studied at the Palette and Chisel Academy of Fine Arts with Richard Schmid. Clayton’s career began while still at the American Academy, exhibiting at Jody Kirberger’s Talisman Gallery and winning awards from the Midwest Pastel Society, the Palette and Chisel and the Pastel Society of America. He began teaching Saturday classes in Chicago after graduation from art school. Artist Statement: “My love for painting has always been enhanced by my love to teach. Any artist who thinks they understand painting should try teaching. They will soon realize how little they know. I have always felt that I have a responsibility to teach because I have been given a generous gift from my teachers (i.e. Bill Parks, Ted Smuskiewicz, and Richard Schmid) and it should be passed on to the next generation of painters who share this love of art.
