Felicia van Bork's intensive (8 day/7 night) plein air oil painting workshop welcomes painters of all levels, including those who have never tried traditional oils or painted outdoors before. Her approach avoids volatile solvents entirely, making use of the elegant qualities of walnut or safflower oil instead.
Artists bring their own plein air kit including easel, brushes, backpack, palette, panel carrier, paint and medium. A complete list of recommended supplies and equipment is sent to each registered student.
Felicia van Bork, MFA, is best known for her paintings and collages.
Her work is in the Mint Museum's Permanent Collection; numerous private, academic and corporate collections; and has been featured at major art fairs including Wynwood Art Fair, Dallas Art Fair and Miami Art Fair. Van Bork has been honored with residency fellowships at the American Academy in Rome, Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, Wildacres, and more.
Her popular classes and workshops, including The Plein Air Painting Workshop on Vancouver Island, Color Mixing from Life, The Liberated Brush, and PDQ Portraits, give students of all levels "aha moments" that lead to technical breakthroughs and rave reviews. Van Bork has been a faculty member at Davidson College, Central Piedmont Community College, Penn State Erie the Behrend College, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and Columbia University.
