10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
INSTRUCTOR: Amanda Lovett
Oil Painters of America - Signature Member
American Impressionist Society – Member
American Women Artists – Signature Member
MEDIUM: Oil or Acrylic
This three day workshop will focus on learning techniques of painting glass, metals and shiny objects in either Oil or Acrylics. You can increase your ability to paint what you see, developing your awareness of shapes, types of highlights, related values and the importance of hard and soft edges. Whether you are a beginner or seasoned painter, this workshop offers insight and instruction. The key to any difficult subject is to break it down into its simplest form and learn to keep only the bare essentials necessary to imply an object rather than completely replicate it. Instruction will include how to develop your ability to gauge proportions, explore the effects of light and improve your understanding of perspective. You are welcome to bring your own reference or you may select from the many that will be on hand. The workshop will be taught in oils, but acrylic painters are also encouraged and welcome. Amanda offers group demonstrations, explanations and personal attention to her students.
Samples of her skill are displayed on her website amandalovett.com

No expensive pigments required.
COST: $450 GVA Member / $500 Non-Member
