composition, and, perhaps most important, how to develop a sense of selectivity
as to what to put in and what to leave out. This is the perfect class for
anyone interested in learning the basics of oil paint. Students are encouraged
to work directly, loosely, and quickly.

Plein Air
Painting
(introductory - advanced) Saturdays, 10 a.m.-1 p.m.
Dave Piekon
Dates: June 14 - August
16
Tuition: $475
Students are presented with the
traditional method and tools for rapidly recording the fleeting effects of
light out of doors. The instructor will demonstrate principles for creating
sound and convincing landscape paintings in the open air, first by drawing the
composition directly on the canvas with paint, then massing in the large shapes
of color and values, bringing the painting to a conclusion layer by layer. All
of the practical elements of landscape oil-painting methods and materials will
be discussed.
The objective is for students to produce one finished
painting per class.
First class meets in the southernmost parking
field at Long Beach, located at the southwestern corner of Long Beach Rd. and
Noyack Rd., in Sag Harbor.

Short Creek, located on the northern side of Long Beach Rd., in Sag
Harbor.

David Peikon
David Peikon dreamed of a life as a painter since his early teens but was
urged to seek a more secure career path. After college he spent 15 years in the
commercial printing industry, culminating his career as a vice-president of
sales. In 1996, at the age of 38, he left the business world to pursue his
passion.
His landscapes have been described as scenes of serene
isolation, always with a reverence for the beauty of nature, whether the
subject is the native shores of Long Island or the hills of Tuscany.
Now in his second decade as a painter, his work hangs in private and
corporate collections around the world. In addition to 10 solo shows thus far,
he has been featured in numerous publications including American Artist
Magazine and The NYTimes.
Also known for his striking portraits, the
artist is honored to include among his clients such notables as author William
F. Buckley Jr., Salvatore Ferragamo, Dr. James D. Watson, Nobel Laureate, and
Dr. David Steinberg, President of Long Island University.
The artist
continues to make Long Island his home, along with his wife and two children.

Bennett Vadnais
Bennett Vadnais grew up in Washington State. He began pursuing art
seriously in his early teens and trained in the classical tradition at such
schools as the Bougie Studio, MN, the Water Street Atelier, NY, and the Art
Students League of New York.
Upon completing his studies in New York,
Bennett lived, worked, and traveled in Europe. This afforded him the
opportunity to study the great masters in some of the world's most extensive
art collections. In addition, he began exploring outdoor subject matter,
landscapes, and street scenes in order to develop his ability to capture
changing light effects. Although many of Bennett's paintings are highly
realistic, they are often begun in response to abstract elements, such as
appealing color combinations or shadow patterns.
