From the Field to the Easel

Take an exciting adventure into the joy of painting with me this April. I will offer practical ways to understand how to compose, interpret what we see, and apply it to the canvas. This workshop is tailored for oil painters of all levels, and I will share what has worked for my paintings since I discovered the guiding principles of this challenging but rewarding discipline.

Some of the subjects covered in this two-day workshop are materials, composition, color theory, values, edges, framing, and social media. The latter is one of the most overlooked aspects of an artist’s career. I will offer principles that work, not gimmicks, that lead to a strong following and sales that result from these postings.

Additionally, I will explain how to use and interpret a photograph to create a painting that reads, and not merely a copy of a photograph.

This workshop is available for galleries, workshop venues and artist's retreats. Please contact me for more information.
