Paint with ASMA“Fellow” Sergio Roffo along our stunning coastal landscape, Alla Prima approach. Sergio will focus on the techniques and principles of Plein air painting of coastal marine landscapes. Sergio Roffo is an elected “Fellow” of the American Society of marine Artists, a member of the Guild of Boston artists’, Elected as an Associate Living Master by ARC Salon  and a Copley Master at the Copley Society of Boston. Mr. Roffo has won countless national awards and is widely collected. Each morning will begin with Sergio discussing the aesthetic issues and techniques of art as he demonstrates and completes a field study, encouraging the fellow artists to observe. “ Sometimes you learn more by observing and memorizing than actually painting. While I strongly encourage the students to observe my demonstration, they will have to option to paint along side of me.” After the demonstration students will receive individual personal instruction and encouragement while completing their painting “Alla Prima” (in one sitting).
