ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Students will work from a live model for this three day workshop. You are welcome to B.Y.O. beer, wine, coffee, tea, etc. The workshop will cover the “basics” for the artist wishing to work in oils. We will delve into techniques and tools, i.e., color, value, edges and paint quality, and their relationship to the aesthetic considerations of the surface. Concept, composition, the artist’s /painter’s psychology, and its ef­fect on one’s canvas will be possible avenues of exploration.
