Paint from a beautiful still life inspired by spring flowers!
This is a three-day intensive oil painting workshop focusing on painting flowers in alla prima style: expressive, direct, and from life. Students will learn about composition by designing and setting up a floral still life. We will take a closer look at the structure of flowers and alla prima techniques for painting them. This workshop is an excellent opportunity to improve your painting skills and study floral painting in depth. The workshop will conclude with group critique.
For oil painters of all levels.
