Vladislav Yeliseyev: "From Tone to Color"

"From Tone to Color" is a workshop designed to help participants develop their skills in creating visually compelling artworks. Students will learn how to use tone and color to create a sense of depth, atmosphere, and mood in their artworks.

• VALUE CONCEPT

The workshop will begin with an introduction to the concept of tone (value) in watercolor. Participants will learn how to use different watercolor techniques to create a range of values, from light to dark, and how to apply these values to create depth, dimension and focal areas in their paintings.

• VALUE AND COLOR RELATIONSHIP

Next, participants will explore the relationship between value and color. They will learn how to use different color schemes using primaries to create mood and atmosphere in their paintings.

• BRUSH TECHNIQUES

Throughout the workshop, participants will have the opportunity to practice their skills through a series of exercises and projects. They will learn how to use tone and color to create different effects, from bold and vibrant to soft and subtle.

• HOW TO CONVEY THE MOOD

By the end of the workshop, participants will have a deeper understanding of tone and color theory and the skills to apply these concepts to their own artworks. They will have a better understanding of how to create visually compelling artworks that convey a sense of mood, atmosphere, and meaning through deeper understanding of tone and color.

• INDIVIDUALIZED APPROACH

By providing an individualized approach, each student will receive tailored guidance and instruction to help them develop their painting skills, regardless of their current level. This workshop is a great opportunity for anyone looking to improve and gain valuable experience in a short amount of time.

What’s Included in Your Workshop Stay

Your workshop package is full room + board with a simple “show up and paint” experience:

• Workshop instruction and programming

• Lodging at The Landgrove Inn

• Three meals per day, including 3-course dinners

• Welcome reception on the first night

All meals are shared together as a group — it’s a big part of the Landgrove experience and what makes these retreats feel like a true creative community.

The Landgrove Workshop Experience

Workshops at The Landgrove are intentionally small and intimate, with a focus on:

• meaningful learning and personal attention

• relationship building with other artists

• a warm, welcoming creative environment

You’ll stay in a peaceful historic inn surrounded by Green Mountain National Forest — an inspiring setting that helps you slow down and settle into deep creative work.

And when you want to explore beyond the studio, we’re close to classic Vermont destinations like:

• Manchester (Southern Vermont Arts Center, Northshire Bookstore)

• Weston (Weston Theater Company, Vermont Country Store)

• plus scenic drives, local shops, and mountain towns nearby

How to Book

Please read these notes before booking so your stay and workshop registration are counted correctly.

1) Choose Your Dates

When selecting your workshop the dates will auto-populate for arrival and departure.

• Check-in (arrival) date is fixed.

• Check-out (departure) date defaults to the final full workshop day (ending around 5 PM). Check-out time is 11am if departing on the final workshop day.

• Check-out may be extended an additional night, to include the final 3-course dinner, plus one more overnight and breakfast the next morning.

  
  

2) Single Occupancy (1 person in the room)

The booking system defaults to single occupancy, which includes:

✅ Lodging + full meal package + gratuity for one person

✅ One workshop registration included

Note: The workshop fee is prorated across the number of nights you book, so it appears as part of your nightly total.

3) Double Occupancy (2 people sharing a room)

Two guests may share the same room during the workshop.

Step A: Change the room occupancy to 2 so meals are included for both guests.

Step B: If the second guest is also taking the workshop, add “Additional Workshop Registration” at checkout.

Not everyone in the room needs to register for the workshop. Many spouses and friends join for the stay without painting. They often explore the national forest, visit nearby towns, ski local mountains, relax by the pool, or enjoy a book by the fire in the tavern — while still being part of the shared meals and community experience.

4) Dietary Needs / Special Requests

During checkout, please add any dietary requirements in the Special Requests field so we can prepare appropriately.
