This workshop is aimed at artists who have felt overwhelming challenges when painting the portrait, or artists that want to take their portraits to the next level. The grid has been a well-kept secret used by masters from the Renaissance to modern painters. It is uniquely valuable for capturing the likeness and solving other drawing problems that arise with portraiture.

We will work on an accurate block-in from a photograph, skin color choices, value, light and anatomy. Once you try this method, the grid will become one of your favorite painting techniques.

This workshop is for advanced beginners and up… with some knowledge of painting in oils or acrylics. Gridded photo will be supplied.

Artists canvases should be gridded before-hand. 16 x 20 toned canvas, gridded into 1 inch squares with a pencil. More info on grid and supply list to come upon registration.

There will be a $5 fee (included in registration) for photos.

Please bring lunch or snacks as we break for lunch.

Cost: $60 plus $5 material fee, $65 total

Was Botticelli your hero? Learn to paint like the old masters and explore the media of Egg Tempera. This technique has been used for millennia in the creation of some of the world’s most famous artwork, from Botticelli in the 15th century to Marc Chagall and Andrew Wyeth in the 20th. Egg tempera as a medium is credited with luminosity of color, the ability to render fine detail along with archival quality, all in a solvent-free environment. Students of this class will be given a short history of egg tempera and will learn about modern artists using this medium.

We will make the egg emulsion, transfer the drawing to a board (8 x 10 provided), learn about the egg to pigment ratio and setting up the palette, and make a base layer of egg tempera on the board. Egg tempera is a quick drying medium and the painting is done in many, many layers. During the course students will develop their painting, learn how to fix problems, and make amendments. Students will be able to finish their painting and put in final details at the end of the course. Additional boards will be available should a student want to begin a new painting.

Students will be provided with the boards, pigments, bottles with droppers for the egg and a few other supplies for an additional cost of $25. A list of items that the students should bring will be provided after registration.

Cost: $80 plus $25 material fee, totalling $105.

My class focuses on the individual's personal development and goals. Intermediate and advanced students working in oil or acrylic are best suited for my class. Students will work from photo references via ipads, etc. Subject matter may include portrait, figure or landscape and we will have demonstrations and discussions on these themes.

I have been an artist for many decades. Although I value my years of classical study, my artistic development has become increasingly more experimental and spontaneous. Lately, I am choosing palettes of color harmonies in tune with all of my senses, not just to describe what I see, but to engage as to what I feel.

Oils serve me best. I pay little attention to “art rules.” If someone thinks I use too much red, I may have considered using more of it.

I am a signature member of the Philadelphia Watercolor Society, an elected artist member of the Salmagundi Club, NYC and a member of the American Impressionist Society.
