For two days during the Plein Air Artists Colorado™ Taos Workshop, Joe Anna Arnett will conduct a very different and original workshop. One day will be devoted to exploring the possibilities of rich and colorful outdoor still life subjects. Artists will tap all of their Plein air skills: composition, atmosphere, the constant movement of light, as well as drawing skills. Another day will be an exciting opportunity to paint a dramatic costumed model out of doors. The model's attire will be a surprise. Our model will first strike some quick poses for a warm-up and then hold longer poses. There is historic artistic precedent for both the still life and the model out of doors in the works of John Singer Sargent and some of the Russian greats and we will enjoy a rich experience bringing our own interpretations to both.

Joe Anna Arnett graduated from the University of Texas, earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. She moved to New York and became a Senior Art Director for Young & Rubicam Advertising working on such accounts as Merrill Lynch and People Magazine.
