A day-long Paint-In at the Litchfield Exchange, under the teaching and critiquing expertise of artist Danny McLaughlin, will be held Saturday, Nov. 4from 10 AM-5 PM, $45. Register with CLASS at 843.235.9600, ClassAtPawleys.com, or linda@classatpawleys.com.
Bring your finished or unfinished works: any medium – oils, acrylics, watercolors, pastels; any subject matter – landscape, portrait, still life; and any skill level – beginners to professionals. Even blank canvases with ideas that don’t know where to start are welcome. Bring your art supplies (an easel if you need one). Tables and chairs will be provided.
For seven hours, Danny will review work while sharing insights on color theory and composition. If you are comfortable having your work reviewed before the group, everyone will benefit from Danny’s famous “eye.” If not, his critique can be private, but know that he is treasured for his gentle handling of the artist’s ego and for his encouraging suggestions for improvement.
Danny McLaughlin’s realistic atmospheric paintings have been admired, honored, and collected since his graduation with a fine arts degree from the College of Charleston. A long-term resident of Georgetown, SC, Danny has taught there for many years, as well as for CLASS (Community Learning About Special Subjects) and OLLI (Osher Lifelong Learning Institute). He continues to paint for select galleries and private commissions.
Well known for his generosity, Danny has donated scores of original paintings and numerous prints for fundraisers to various charitable organizations, including American Red Cross, Georgetown County Library, Maritime Museum, Ducks Unlimited, Big Brothers and Big Sisters, Tara Hall Home for Boys, and The Friends of Brookgreen Gardens Gala. His work has twice been honored with PICA Awards. His painting “The Great White Way” was added to the permanent collection of the Library of Congress.
