Fee: $475
During this workshop students will encounter the ”tricky foursome”: Design, Background, Value and Colour.
Each of these elements in turn will become the focus, in the hope of understanding how to manipulate them into a better painting. The first two days will be spent doing exercises and demos; the next three will be spent creating a painting or two which incorporate what has been learned. Each session will end with a discussion of the day’s work. WORKSHOP FULL
