Reif Erickson

"I touch the Earth with my heart and paint the Spirit of the Land." It is with deep sadness that the artist community must say goodbye to Reif Erickson, who passed away on March 26, 2015. Known for his thoughtfully created pastel landscapes, his understanding of color and light, Reif was a regional artist with works in public, corporate, and private collections throughout the Pacific Coast and Japan. He attributed the success of his 38-year career to painting with pastels "on location," or what he called Fresh Air painting. Reif was a long time Artist in Residence of The Arts Building in Auburn and a valued member of PlacerArts. More recently he had been working from his home studio where he held classes for artists of all levels seeking to hone their skills in pastels. He authored a book entitled "Fresh Air  PAINTING". Among his achievements, Reif was honored by the Pastel Society of the West Coast as a Distinguished Pastellist. He was a member of the prestigious California Art Club, a charter member of the Sierra Pastel Society, and past president of the Pastel Society of the West Coast, in addition to being the recipient of numerous awards during his career throughout the northwest and internationally. His work has been on display regularly at Art Obsessions Gallery in Truckee, California; at Earthworks Gallery, in Yacats, Oregon; in Davis, California, at John Natsoulas Gallery, and in Auburn at Old Town Gallery.

Workshop

Painting Trees, Hills & Mountains

      with Atmosphere and Distance

                taught by Susan Sarback  

                                                                       

2 day Workshop

June 13-14, 2015

Fair Oaks, CA

Discover how to create atmosphere and distance in your paintings with light, color, value and form.  By seeing and understanding how to paint groups of trees, hills, and mountains that recede, your paintings can have a sense of atmosphere and space that appear to go on for miles.  Explore this approach to painting space by seeing the changes in form and gradations of color and value. 

We'll be painting outdoors for the mornings and indoors in the afternoons.  (weather permitting)

Some painting experience is necessary.

Saturday - Sunday
