Two New Workshops For 2018 At River Tree Arts, Kennebunk, Maine

Painting from Photo Reference

Saturday, March 17, 2018    River Tree Arts, Kennebunk, Maine

The workshop will discuss techniques to quickly transfer the important elements of a reference photo to the canvas, as well as creating an artistic painting rather than simply rendering a photograph. Beginning with a discussion on the “basics” of oil painting (from materials to paint handling), the workshop will also address the fundamentals of color, value, edges and perspective. Learn how to use a reference photo and create a loose, expressive and “painterly” painting!

Instruction will include a short painting demo by Dan, with explanation of his process along the way. Participants will then work from their own photo references incorporating the techniques discussed, with plenty of one-on-one individual instruction throughout the day.

Workshop fee is $125 ($115 for River Tree Arts members).  To register for this workshop,  CLICK HERE.
