Description

READ STUDIO POLICIES

In this workshop, Mike will demonstrate his process and approach to painting both portraits and figures. Mike will demonstrate his technique of “drawing” with paint, as well as show other techniques or “tricks” to simplify the figure, which can be a daunting task for many oil painters. He will discuss the balance between representational technique and instinctive design decisions that can transform an academic figure study. The idea is to better enhance and evolve your own personal style by remaining free to manipulate the painting as you envision it.  In this workshop, students will feel as if they are in Mike's personal studio, watching how he works day to day to create his beautiful artworks.

***Class size limited to 12 students. Geared toward intermediate and advanced painters.
