Where: Palm Springs/Palm Desert area of California
When: Four days, from Tuesday January 10 until Friday.
Several of my Virtual Art Academy students have been asking me to do a workshop in the US. I shall be in the United States at the beginning of January in the Palm Springs/Palm Desert area of California and so am going to do a 4-day workshop for those of you who like some live tuition. I will customize the workshop to the specific needs of the students who are attending. If anyone lives in this area and would like to suggest places to paint, please contact me from my website.
A key feature of the workshop will be a thorough review of your current work. Based on what I see, I will work out a detailed plan of study for you for the next 12 months to take your work to a higher level. If you'd like to get an idea of the way I analyze paintings you can take a look at some of the master critiques I have been writing recently for Plein Air Magazine.
Levels
All levels from absolute beginners to more experienced painters will be welcome. All Virtual Art Academy students will be able to get their Virtual Art Academy assignments critiqued in addition to a critique of their paintings during the workshop.
Cost
The cost of the workshop will be $750.
How To Register
If you are interested, please confirm your interest by paying a deposit to reserve your place on the workshop. The deposit is non-refundable, but may be applied to any other workshop in the following 12 months. The balance of the workshop fee is due 60 before start of the workshop (Nov 10th)
After you register your deposit, please send me an email so I can send you an invitation to join a private Google Group I have set up specifically for this workshop. I will use this Google Group to communicate with students attending the workshop to give more details, and for students to be able to communicate with each other, so it is important you get on the list.

The purpose of the trip is to spend some time in an authentic village in China, with the special opportunity to work with the figure in the landscape. For beginners we will go through all the essential elements of painting, including notan, atmospheric perspective, color and brushwork. For advanced painters we will focus on figure techniques, and Barry will go over some of the new material on planes of the figure and portrait from an upcoming course on figure and portrait that Barry has been working on for the past couple of years. China is a fascinating destination and here you can still see traditional people living as they have done for thousands of years of human civilization and culture. We will be staying near the beautiful Lake Erhai, near Dali (more photos) in Yunnan province of China. Yunnan is one of the most beautiful provinces in China, with many authentic villages and lovely mountain scenery, and home to many of the various ethnic minorities in China. This makes it a very colorful place to stay and paint. Our village has many original homes built in the traditional historic architectural style of the region.
Lake Views
Here are some pictures taken this August of Lake Erhai. (These photographs were taken August this year, In March you will see a lot more sun).
Click the photo for a larger version and slide show.
Xizhou Village
Xizhou town, is about a half an hour from Dali, one of the top tourist attractions in Yunnan province. The small village of Dali has not been affected by tourism and retains its genuine charm and character. The local people are the Bai people and many of the women wear traditional Bai costume. Horse drawn carts are common, as well as tricyles and small three wheeler taxis. The village has remarkably well preserved traditional Bai architecture, including many intact buildings from the Qing and Ming dynasties, as well as many traditional Republican style houses, with walled courtyards and intricately carved gates.
The Bai People
The Bai people live around the Dali area and have a long history. We will hire models and paint them in the village and in the courtyard of the Republican era house we are staying in.
Temple
Less than half an hour from where we are staying is a large and historic temple complex which will provide a very interesting setting for us to paint.
Our location: The Linden Center
The place where we plan to stay is a renovated old Republican Period building. It has several private courtyards and some indoor spaces, where we can work on figure paintings.
Here are some photographs of the center. This slideshow shows the architecture of the center, and the accommodation. Click on the album to see larger photographs.
Optional travel in Yunnan
If you wish, we can help you see something of other places in Yunnan. A couple of very interesting places are Yuhu village, and Lijiang, and Zhongdian. Here's some more information on Zhongdian. Lijiang is about three hours bus ride away and Zhongdian is a further three to four hour bus ride away.
Lijiang and Yuhu Village
Lijiang is where most of the tourists go, and is worth about a day or two to visit since it is quite unique and beautiful. A very interesting place to visit that is very close to Lijiang is the village of Yuhu. There is a nice little guest house there, which is a traditional Naxi house, built around a courtyard, and a very friendly family who will cook all your meals for you. The village is small, and full of character. The scenery is magnificent since the village sits at the foot of the Snow Jade Dragon Mountain.
Zhongdian
Zhongdian is also known as Shangrila, and has a lovely little old town, and a temple nearby that is like a miniature version of the Potala Palace in Llasa. The old town is much smaller than Lijiang and has a much different character. It is much more like a Tibetan frontier town, with fascinating Tibetan architecture and many small guest houses with a lot of character and charm. The people are really friendly. Here you will see a Tibetan race, that is completely different race from the Naxi people of Lijiang. One of the interesting features of Yunnan is the wide variety of ethnic groups you meet in just one province. Every evening people all meet to dance together in the small town square. This is traditional Yunnan dancing, (and it is not put on for the tourists). All the locals join in (including my taxi driver Nungoo, who helped me a lot during my stay in August 2008).
This is a two week workshop I am running in partnership with the Linden Center, with the second week optional. The majority of the teaching will take place during the first week, with the second week planned for you to practice the skills you learned in the first week.
