Service Description

Date & Time: Saturday, November 2nd, 2024, 9:30 - 4:00 pm Sunday, November 3rd, 2024, 9:30 - 4:00 pm Media: Oil/Acrylic Level: Intermediate - Advanced Instructor: Bobbi Dunlop Artists will paint from their own photo references - see supply list This workshop is for all levels of artists who wish to learn to paint a portrait of your favorite pet dog/puppy! We’ll simplify a complex photo using preliminary studies and exercises before painting a larger studio painting. We will touch on all the ‘simple ideas’ that Bobbi emphasizes in her teaching: “logical ideas” .. the nuts and bolts necessary to build a strong, beautiful painting; and ideas that will help take the mystery out of painting animals and add the magic you are seeking. Ideas that will take your work to the next level - no matter the genre. You’ll learn how to tell a story with distinctive brushwork and brave paint application; learn to “push ideas”, and look for “possibilities” in your work, and using our studies, bring your studio painting to life. All the elements of a strong painting will be emphasized and explored; from creating a concept to abstract design, the fundamentals: shape, value, edges, paint quality/colour ... and more. To start this 2-Day Workshop, Bobbi will do a painting demonstration while explaining her process and answering all your questions. You can look for lots of personal guidance throughout the weekend. This is an eyeopening workshop you won’t want to miss! All demos will be done in oil acrylic painters welcome. Some experience is necessary - beginner to advanced levels.
