Painting from Start to Finish


Learn practical techniques to take a painting from blank canvas to finished work in this workshop.


More details

This two-day workshop will take you through the journey of making a painting from start to finish. You will begin by making compositional sketches from a photograph of your choice. From the sketches you will make small painted studies and develop a colour scheme. Then you move on to working on your painting and exploring translucent applications of paint, glazing techniques, and building up a painting through layers of underpainting. This step-by-step process will give you confidence in your painting ability and give you an idea of how to start a painting and bring it to a finish. SATURDAY & SUNDAY, AUG 2 & 3, 10AM - 4:30PM IN-PERSON
