WORKSHOP Description
In this workshop, I’ll do a demo using the reference image you see here. You can paint along or just watch! My teaching style is not to give you a stroke-by-stroke, paint by numbers kind of demo; rather I talk you through my decision-making process in order to help you think about the strategy and construction of a painting so that you can take the information and apply it to your own work.
🎥 WORKSHOP RECORDINGS available for 1-YEAR after the workshop ends!
🎥 NOTE: Workshop Recordings may be offered for sale at a future date at Mastrius, with the consent of the instructor.
High School, University, and College students get 20% OFF. See FAQs at the bottom of page.
Supply List
Students can use whatever they have on hand. I will use the following colors: Titanium white, cadmium yellow light, yellow ochre, cadmium red (and warm red is fine), ultramarine blue, burnt siena, and ivory black.
