Figurative and Narrative Painting in Oils

Experience the process of creating a representational narrative painting from start to finish. Students will begin with pencil drawings to develop figure and design of space on the page, before progressing to simple figurative paintings in black and white, and finally adding color. The workshop will culminate in one larger sized color painting, and provide students with the skills to tell a narrative story through oil painting techniques. All levels welcome.
