CREATE COMPELLING LIGHT

The art of bringing light into your paintings is not mysterious.  It is all about nailing the value and color relationships.  This course will offer some tools to make this process simple and straightforward.  We will work from my photo references, which will have interesting light, and you will paint along with me as I demonstrate how to arrive at the right color and value mixtures on your own painting.

This workshop is suitable for all skill levels and for both oil painters and acrylic.  I will be painting in oils.

Come and give it a try.  I am sure you will be pleasantly surprised by the results.
