Highlights and Cast Shadows
Do you want to paint better? Learn how to make your objects turn in space, gain volume and weight, be filled with light
Make nightlights that glimmer and look real. Lets look at why cool shadows need to heat up and why warm highlights need to actually cool down.

ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISM
What is Abstract Expressionism?
We will learn to use color with structural power.
Working from nature; i.e. that which is observable, learn to make it your own by adding your own voice to what you see.
We will discover the difference between traditional painting and abstract expressionism and how this movement turned the understanding of painting on its head. AND this is something that Rembrandt and Michaelangelo already understood.
This is a comprehensive, two-day workshop beginning with black/white and moving into color.
