Dan's workshop will focus on a loose intuitive approach to painting the figure subject, whether the full figure or from the shoulders up, exploring other ways to see will be discussed using the painter's language of line, shape, value, color, texture and edges! This workshop helps students simplify intent and learn how to use essential visual elements to give your paintings both direction and the "reason to be". By helping you to understand and execute the importance of the six elements, your experience in painting the figure will be enhanced by not only integrating these concepts, but then giving you the freedom to taking it a step beyond and tap into your intuitive side. Our workshop participants over the years have enjoyed Dan's open approach, attentive yet laid back teaching style and were amazed at how much they learned. Don't miss out on this opportunity, even if you aren't a regular figurative painter the concepts in this workshop translate to every type and style of painting.
