WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:
The Visual Language

Painting is more than copying color for color; it's concept, drawing, color, design, line, form and brushwork. Painting is a series of decisions that should not just represent a place or an object or a time of day, it should ultimately represent the artist.

Larry Moore's workshops address not only the process of painting but the decisions involved in the act of making art. He covers all the fundamentals of painting on site and creative thinking skills with the primary goal of developing a better artist, a stronger voice.

LARRY MOORE'S BIO:
Larry Moore is a painter with a message. He has committed his life to documenting the
natural world.

In his words:
"Today, our beautiful planet is taking a beating through overdevelopment and abuse. I try
to capture the grandeur of nature. To create reminders of peace and beauty. It's my way of
making a statement against destruction."

Larry was born in 1957 and raised in Cocoa Beach, Florida. When his family first began to
recognize his talent, he was a tender nine. First drawing, then painting, then surfing. At
age 14, Larry had already combined his passion for nature and surfing with his gift. He
began airbrushing surfboards, vans and wall murals.

Since then, Larry's success has been rapid. The mass of awards listed below gives clear
witness to his position among the country's leading artists. Larry has been awarded the
highest national and international honors. To date, over 30 pieces of art have been
accepted into the Society of Illustrators in New York and Los Angeles. Recently, he was
awarded the Society's most prestigious honor, a gold award. Without pretension, Larry
attributes his success to passion, hard work and problem solving; a technique he learned
as an illustrator.

Since 1993, Larry has taught illustrating, drawing, creative thinking and oil and pastel
workshops. In front of the classroom, he is known as an instructor, role model and mentor.
Time and time again, Larry has helped promote young artists to heights they never
dreamed of reaching so soon. Perhaps this ability to nurture came from the support of his
family. Growing up surrounded by talent, Larry's mother, grandmother, brother and
stepmother were all artists.

Larry remembers clearly the day he discovered plein air painting. From that moment, he knew
exactly what he wanted to do: Combine his experience, his passion for nature and his life-long
goal of becoming a better painter. "It's all about the learning journey." Larry Moore.
