Our Speaker this month is Barbara Lewis.

Barbara is a talented oil painter who paints portraits, still lifes, animals and landscapes in an elegantly traditional style. Her extensive training at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and at Studio Icnamminati, established by Nelson Shanks, has added to the depth and richness of her work. Her paintings have been exhibited in the James A. Michener Art Museum, the Pennsylvania State Museum, Woodmere Museum, Rowen University, the Princeton Theological Seminary, the National Arts Club and the Salmagundi Club.

Barbara is particularly well-known for her portrait work, especially those of judges. The James A. Michener Art Museum’s recent “A Judicial Legacy: Portraits from the Bucks County Courts Collection featured 10 of her portraits.

Barbara teaches art in her Doylestown studio. She looks forward to sharing with us the classic techniques behind her most successful paintings.

This is a three part workshop. Students will gain a general knowledge of this historical painting medium and see the beautiful detail and effects this medium can produce. Working from a photograph of their own, and by using thin layers typical of this medium, students will see the luminosity of each layer turn their work into a developed painting.

• Artists bring their own materials and a small easel (if they have one).
• Artists will bring a few photographs with figures that they would like to paint. It can also be a painting that is already started for which the artist would like guidance.
• Barry will help each artist individually to realize their goals for the specific piece of art they will begin in the workshop.
• Focus will be on how to best interpret the source photo for the final artwork and avoid the mistake of trying to “paint the photograph.”
• Artists should not expect to complete their work of art in the workshop. Instead they should expect to have a solid start towards their intended goal and a “lay-in” of color.
• Barry will cover various methods of transferring a drawing to a canvas or board.
