THIS WEBSITE IS DEDICATED TO MICHAEL LINSTROM AND THE COMMUNITY OF PROFESSIONAL ARTISTS THAT HAVE STUDIED WITH HIM OVER THE YEARS.

Loosely referred to as "The Linstrom Group", his students have studied together and occasionally exhibit together.  Although their work is quite varied,  they are united in a love of color.  They tend to see art as a spiritual path and are focussed on continual growth in artistic expression.  Art is viewed as non-competitive since each person has a unique inspiration that no one else could express.

MICHAEL LINSTROM

Michael has been an "art coach" for over two decades and has influenced scores of artists.  Many have gone on to professional careers and credit Michael as their primary instructor.  By teaching the principles of fine art, Michael has been able to bring students along to the professional level in portaiture, abstraction, landscape and still life. His popular "Color Workshops" have been an inspiration to many advanced painters.

ANNA LEE STEED

In her workshop series, "It's All About Color", Anna Lee breaks down effective use of color into small, "bite sized peices".  She covers topics such as learning to mix colors from the brightest pure colors to those hard to describe neutrals found in nature.  How to select a palette of pigments.  Developing the "Artist Eye" to see colors.  The importance of a simple value pattern of dark and light to the colorist painter.  How to translate your colors into that simple value pattern.  Practice with color schemes and limited palettes.  She looks at ways of creating color harmony as well as how to make color pop!  Students may work in oil or acrylic.

This year she is adding "Getting Started in Oils" for students that are just beginning in this wonderful medium.
