Using vignettes and posing the model with interesting props and environments, the primary focus of this workshop is on painting interiors. The workshop is designed to take the beginner to advanced student through the process of creating excitement, mood, and emotion in their work by utilizing shape, value, edges, texture and composition. We will also discuss other ways to reach this objective with the use of various types of reference materials, such as photographs or memory. There will be instructor demonstrations, group discussions, and individualized instruction at each artist’s easel.
