5 day . Oil Painting- Style & Skill Development
Studio
This 5-day workshop is for students of all levels and designed to improve your painting skills and help you develop your personal style. Mr. Homer will demonstrate how to go beyond copying a photo or nature and how to add drama and mood to your paintings. Although the focus will be on painting the portrait/figure, the principles learned will apply to whatever subject you choose to paint.
During the workshop, you will paint from photos as well as life and there will be discussion on the benefits and limitations of each. Students will explore the principles of both traditional realism and impressionism to find the right balance in your work. You will do exercises to help develop accurate but expressive brushwork and be shown how to render minute detail.
Emphasis will be on accurate drawing, values, edges, “keying in”a painting, and on finishing techniques including glazing, scumbling, and how to work over a dry painting. With this information, you can choose to paint loose and accurate or highly detailed.
Since most students will be at different skill levels, Mr. Homer will make sure that you get individual attention and instruction geared to your level.
We will paint from 9:00 a.m. to 4 p.m daily.
