WORKSHOP Description
This workshop will use a traditional subject, drapery, to demonstrate both the basic use of oil paint and also how to make accurate observations without relying on your mind’s eye. I’ll show students how to paint the drapery without first doing any drawing, which can help students build confidence in using their materials to draw and paint their image at the same time.
