Vince Fazio
We'd like to thank artist and instructor Vince Fazio for arranging a host family, artists Rick and Carol Gandolfo, for Carl Judson during his recent visit to the Sedona Plein Air Festival. He also arranged for Carl to give a presentation at the Sedona Arts Center and to judge the Main Street Paint Out and the Heritage Center Quick Draw during the festival. Vince is the director of the School of the Arts at the Sedona Arts Center and is also a teacher there. He is offering a Drawing Crash Course beginning November 26th. They have ten plein air workshops scheduled for the spring and fall months of 2013.
The painting above is a 6"x8" (oil on paper) plein air sketch from his blog, which has a series of beautiful plein air oil-on-paper sketches including several of old abandoned trucks.
"I have been visiting a nearby ‘junkyard’ and historic ghost town. The beautiful side of entropy. Hmmm… come to think of it the Grand Canyon and Sedona are similar themes of erosion and oxidation."
His work encompases not only plein air landscapes, but also large studio works, figurative work and still life.

Take Your Art Outside: The Allure of Plein Air Painting
Have you ever felt the urge to ditch the studio and unleash your creativity in the fresh air? Plein air painting, ("in the open air"), might be the ticket.
