Hansen to offer painting workshop

The Dane G. Hansen Museum is offering the David Vollbracht Oil Painting Workshop on July 22 through 25. The class will run from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m.

Vollbracht is a representational landscape painter of the West. For many years, he has made trips to various parts of the West to gather reference material for realistic impressions created primarily in oil. Vollbracht emphasizes the beauty and importance of the natural landscape in his compositions. He is intrigued by the patterns and shapes in nature and concentrates on the effects of light on these elements.

The class will be on the use of photography as a reference material. Special emphasis will be placed on the limitations of photography and how to use it as a point of reference instead of a crutch. Design, color, values and composition will be explored as well as mood.

To enroll, call (785) 688-4846.
