This is a full three day class focused on painting florals from life. Students will learn an alla prima approach to rendering a floral composition in oil paint. We will address all the foundational elements of image making, starting with drawing, value, color, and edges, which in turn can be applied to many different subject matter. We will delve into various techniques that I use to capture an accurate rendition of a given flower. I will be discussing several observational tools throughout the workshop as well. I believe it is important to watch a painting be created and so I will be demoing throughout the weekend. I hope that students come away with not only a painting they are excited about, but more importantly learn something they can take with them and apply to their work beyond a workshop setting.

This workshop would be best suited for artists who have some experience with oil painting who want to further their skills. This class is equally for the advanced painter. I will meet each person where they are at in skill level and push each individual from that point.

It would be best for students to have that basic understanding of how oil paints work. Drawing is the most foundational element we will begin with and so some experience with that would be very helpful.
