Register for this Workshop

We will paint each day from the live model. Participants will create a basic palette from direct observation of the model, using oil paint, working on either canvas or panel (your choice). Participants will receive individual instruction as they develop two figurative paintings over the course of the week. We will emphasize the basic forms of the figure as well as value and light and shadow. Participants should arrive with two pre-tinted (and dry) canvases or panels, which will provide a ready-made ground upon which to build their paintings.
