Take your paintings (acrylic or oil) to the next level in this two-day workshop with artist/instructor Steven Walker. Participants will learn how to capture light and achieve captivating glows within their paintings using photographs of their choice as reference. Many of the basic elements of designs such as color, composition, and depth will be explored, with discussions pertaining to observation and photographing for reference. A primary focus of this workshop will be to gain a fundamental understanding of painting materials, techniques, and studio practices to make painting processes easier and more successful. Each day will begin with a painting demonstration. This workshop is open to all levels and each student will receive individual attention catered to his or her skill level.
