Painting with Confidence and Style - Landscape and Still Life in Oil Paint

This workshop will emphasize the understanding of what we see in the physical world, and how to best interpret that with paint. The excitement of painting is not just in gaining skills, but also in developing and realizing your unique interpretive ‘voice’ or style. We’ll present several modules which which will help build specific skills and help you gain confidence. We’ll also discuss communicative concepts such as expressive brushwork, harmony and design. Learn ways to handle complex subject matter with great ease and with simple gestures. They’ll be several demonstrations and practice studies, plus a lot of one-on-one assistance.  You will be challenged to think in new ways about oil painting. Expect a focused, yet relaxed, atmosphere with lots of fun and camaraderie.
