Get Loose and Free with Your Brushwork!
The best paintings often look life it took the artist little effort, but that simply is not true. It takes both practice and a deeper understanding of painting fundamentals to be able to free yourself up for the fun stuff.
In this workshop, I will help you become the loose Impressionist painter you’ve always wanted to be! Through informative presentations and dynamic demonstrations, I’ll show you how I simplify composition, values, and colors and make every brushstroke count. We’ll embark on a series of exercises that will help you scootch a bit out of your comfort zone and into the land of the loose and free. Topics will include the best brushes, how surfaces affect texture, where to employ soft and hard edges, and how to create simplicity and let go of detail. You will come away a more confident and spontaneous painter!
Before the workshop, you will receive a comprehensive notebook chock full of need-to-know concepts that will help you during and after the workshop. We will stay in touch weekly through an online forum where you can post homework for review and guidance.
