Advancing Art to Others
Boston Painter Teaches Techniques in Week's Workshop
"...oil painter Craig Srebnik mashes his one of nearly dozen brushes spread out on his work table against the canvas of the portrait he is painting. 'I use the scribble technique, that's advanced art--at least if you're in kindergarten', Srebnik tells the crowd with a smile."
"Srebnik, who has won a multitude of awards, including two prestigious Oil Painter's of America Awards of Excellence, said he enjoys showing beginners his craft. 'I find they do very well,' Srebnik said. 'They listen.'"
"'The figure itself is an endless source of inspiration,'Srebnik said...he begins his own work without consulting an outside source. 'First, I come up with a composition from my head and draw it up', Srebnik said. 'Once I have the composition worked out, then I bring in the model.'"

"'It's inspiring and enjoyable to be around other artists', Srebnik said. 'It provides a great balance with the time I spend in the studio. Their enthusiasm and interests help fuel mine.' Attendee Marilyn Long, of Wapakoneta, said she enjoyed the first 5-hour class, which explored art history and basic techniques. 'It's amazing to watch him', Long said. Ruth Ann Sturgill, of Lima, said she was sure to sign up for this year's class...'It's amazing', Sturgill said of the class. 'I can't believe we're getting this caliber of artist in Botkins.'"

Srebnik's Ohio Portrait Painting workshop for professional and amateur artists was funded by the National Endowment for the Arts. For the complete article: http://www.wapakdailynews.com/content/view/48442/27/
