Guy Combes returns to SAS with an immersion into his technique. Starting with an outline of field study and reference gathering, he will guide you through the process of building a composition, while sharing his inspiration and knowledge of East Africa and the Sonoran Desert region. Working from reference photos of animals and/or landscapes that have special meaning to you (Guy will liaise with you via email prior to the workshop about the reference), Guy will demonstrate clear steps toward the completion of an oil painting, through image transfer, underpainting, glazing and final rendering of considerate detail. Throughout the workshop Guy will be happy to answer questions about how he markets his work, and how he uses his art to raise awareness and funds for the conservation causes with which he is involved, both in East Africa and the Sonoran Desert region. guycombes.com
