photographs. He'll cover how to
create a thumbnail blueprint for your painting, how to use an under-painting
for both speed and dynamism, and mass in the big shapes of darks, middles
and lights to stay loose and fresh. He will reveal how to refine the painting
without losing the freshness, sharing a set of critical questions we must ask
ourselves to ensure that we don't overwork our paintings while bringing
them to a finish.
Bio: Alain Picard earned a BA in illustration from Western CT State
University and went on to study at the Art Student's League in New York
City. Picard cites Sargent, Degas, and Sorolla among his artistic influences.
A love of light and beauty are immediately apparent in his pastel and oil
paintings. Alain's work has been featured in she Artist's Magazine and The
Pastel Journal. He's garnered top awards throughout the Northeast and is a
Signature Member of the Pastel Society of America as well as the
Connecticut Pastel Society where he served as President from 2012-2014.
In 2004, The Artist's Magazine highlighted Alain as one of 20 contemporary
artists "On the Rise". You can find more information about Alain on his
website
http://picardstudio.com. Alain's first book, "Pastel Basics," was published
in 2013, followed by a series of instructional DVD's in pastel. His newest
book, "Mastering Pastel," was released on April 29, 2015. Alain lives with his
wife and two sons in Southbury, Connecticut.

manipulate our perceptions of time, space and energy. Her ordered and
precisely constructed interactive sculptures move in strikingly organic, fluid
and mesmeric ways. Employing opposing modalities -- analytical and
intuitive, rational and emotional -- Lilly's sculptures elicit new connections
between the physical space outside ourselves and our own perceptual,
psychological domain. They are usually fabricated in machined stainless
steel, and require the viewer's touch to initiate movement: pressing clinical
qualities against the sensuous response of each piece.

Lilly will talk about her work and its three-way interactivity between the
viewer, the work, and the space of encounter. She will explore some of the
sources informing the work and its development, issues of skill and
craftsmanship, and the roles of planning and experimentation in her
process.
