WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:

In this workshop, artists of all levels will learn about Agnes’ approach to painting portraits, practice life drawing from models, create their own oil painting following the instructions, and have an opportunity to watch her paint along with the group.

The Line and Color workshop is designed to take ten days. We will focus on different aspects of the artist’s painting process in parts. Each part will take a different number of days, depending on the students’ interests and progress. Part One - Drawing: portrait and figure drawing practice from models as preparation to gestural approach to painting. Part Two - Line: creating an underdrawing on canvas. Part Three - Light and Shadow: establishing lights and shadows in oil paint. Part Four - Color: painting a portrait in oil using a deliberately chosen color palette. Each part will consist of three elements: Theory, Practice, and a Discussion.

This course will entail a total of ten studio days with a live model, six hours per day, supplemented by trips to museums, churches, and historical sites. Paints and medium are included. On Sunday, May 5 at 7 PM there will be a brief orientation and group meeting to get acquainted. Painting begins on Monday, May 6. May 18 will be the last day for a final critique, packing paintings, and a group dinner at night. Each day will be a full experience from morning to night!
