This three-day intensive oil painting workshop will focus on the forms of the human figure as a vehicle for learning to see more clearly and deeply the tonal and spatial relationships that are the building blocks of painting from direct observation. Students will work from a live model on canvas or gessoed paper. Intermediate or advanced painters, or by permission of instructor will find this class to be most satisfying.
