Let’s explore flowers! In this workshop we will be painting a loose impressionistic floral. We will be using the alla prima technique, also known as "direct painting" or “wet-on-wet”.
My goal is to teach and equip my students with the tools to break down a subject into big shapes then adding just a few details to round out the painting to bring it to life. We will talk about Design, Value, Drawing and Color. I will demonstrate a painting to help give students a visual example before students choose a floral design provided to create their own. Painting supplies can be reserved for an additional fee directly from the instructor.

Knowing your subject well will help you create that spark that makes your pet your own. We will create an 8x10 pet portrait using oil paint in the alla prima method (also known as “direct painting” or “wet on wet” oil Painting). Using this technique, we will complete entire paintings in one session without waiting for the paint layers to dry completely. We will work on establishing values and mixing colors. Using these techniques will help us discover the energy and life of your favorite furry subject.
Students are recommended to have some drawing and painting experience but not required. Note: supplies may be purchased directly from the instructor for an additional $25 fee, which includes a canvas that students can keep of their painting - students must notify instructor know you wish to rent one week before workshop.
