This is a four day paint-from-life workshop in the studio, starting with a Monday afternoon intro, then a series of demos, exercises, and individual instruction, and wrapping up with a Friday morning critique. We approach the questions of color, shape, and what makes brushwork beautiful, with gorgeous still life setups and a model to inspire us. What is it you see in something that inspires you to paint it? An awareness of your inspiration can guide the decisions you make as you paint. Set up to paint when you arrive--Aimee’s introductory lecture includes practice. Find the sweet spot where painting is challenging AND doable.
If you only paid the deposit, the workshop balance is now due.
