Old Bee Keeper -Interpreting Light with Tone/Colour

TD1MM

I love creating strong light in paintings. Learn how tonal value and colour can create the illusion of three dimensions, making objects and space visually recede, giving distinctive mood and impact.

Precious Childhood Moments

FW3

Children are a delightful subject to paint.  I always love drawing and painting little children. The littlies clothes are generally too big for them and they have the cutest poses.  Narrative paintings or photo’s that tell a story are my favourite. I delight in teaching students how to achieve the sweet innocence of a young child by getting the gesture and the pose correct, which is of primary importance.  Students love this workshop and walk away with a timeless  keepsake.

Deli Market in Slovakia - Loosen up 

SD1AM

I love Impressionism and I think many students do too but they are unsure how to go about loosening up.  Teaching students to simplify and knowing what is important to keep in and what can be left out.  The less is more theory.  Plus teaching the loose mark making of impressionism.
