5 Day Figure Painting workshop: February 2023
Join me at the Kanata Art Club for a five day deep dive into figure painting.
Get practical skills & knowledge to make immediate improvements in your figure painting! This 5 day workshop is suitable for serious beginners through advanced students. It will focus on colour, value and brushwork and how to use these elements to create more realistic and accurate figure paintings.
By working on one painting over a few days, students will get the opportunity to practice many different skills, with support and feedback from the instructor. Students will leave with a deeper understanding of mixing skin tones, accurately seeing and painting value, effectively using the paintbrush, and creating figure paintings that feel three-dimensional and alive, not flat and stiff.
Dates: February 22nd to 26th, 2023 (Wednesday to Sunday inclusive, snow date – March 4th).
Time: 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with a break at 12:00 p.m. for lunch
Fees: KAC members: $540, non-members: $575, payable at the time of registration.
