Join Robert Kelley for two days of creating expressive pastel landscapes from your own reference photos. Robert will guide you in simplifying a scene, strengthening composition, choosing color and values, and using loose, confident marks to bring your landscape to life.

Each day will include demonstrations, plenty of hands-on painting time, and individual guidance from Robert as you learn to move beyond simply copying a photo and create landscapes that feel painterly, expressive, and uniquely yours.

All levels are welcome.

Day 1 – May 18
9:00 – 4:00 – Workshop
Robert will begin the day with a landscape demonstration, sharing his approach to working from a reference photo and building a strong pastel painting. The remainder of the day will be devoted to student work, with Robert walking the room to provide individual guidance, feedback, and support.

Day 2 – May 19
9:00 – 4:00 – Workshop
Robert will begin with another demonstration, exploring additional techniques for creating expressive, painterly landscapes. Students will then spend the majority of the day working on their own paintings while Robert provides one-on-one instruction tailored to each artist and their work.

Meet Robert Kelley

Rob Kelley is a fine artist/illustrator with a focus on portraiture! He lives in Stockton, California, and is a single dad to three children. Rob studied graphic design at UC Davis and then went on to study illustration at Academy of Art in San Francisco. Although he has had an extensive education in art, he abandoned it for most of his adult life. That changed in 2014, when his life hit a dramatic shift. At that time, he began looking at why he was in a constant state of low-level unhappiness and discovered that he had abandoned his true and authentic self. He knew that the one thing he needed that had been missing was art! Since then, Rob has adopted a sink or swim mentality! He now creates full-time as an artist. He also offers online courses through Kara Bullock Art School. To give back to his community, Rob offers a FREE workshop every Wednesday night at The Catalyst in downtown Stockton. It is his desire to help others find the joy in creating!
