Fee: $475
This is an intermediate and advanced level workshop with in-depth demonstrations which will allow students to get inside Michael’s head to see and understand the decisions that he makes which contribute to his success.
The purpose and focus will be to create drama, contrast and mood, as well as specific applications such as values, focal point technique, soft and hard edges, transparent and opaque layers, composition and design. Michael will share his expertise about visual literacy and being intuitive in the process of painting. THIS WORKSHOP IS FULL — BECAUSE OF THE HIGH INTEREST, A SECOND CLASS WILL ALSO BE OFFERED FROM AUGUST 13 – 17, 2012.
