Class Overview:

In this three-session workshop, participants will complete a fully  realized floral composition while exploring a range of oil painting  techniques, including wet-into-wet passages, glazing over white, and  glazing over vibrant underlayers. The extended format provides ample  time to thoughtfully plan and draw a more complex arrangement, as well as to add refinement as the painting develops.

We will focus on the unique, semi-translucent qualities of flowers which  make them so challenging yet so alluring. Special emphasis will be placed on mixing accurate, luminous color that conveys the interaction  of light across petals. Students will also be guided in simplifying intricate botanical structures into basic geometric forms, helping them create a convincing sense of three dimensionality.

Vivian Tanga is a traditionally trained oil painter who specializes in portraiture. She began her artistic education at the Schuler School of  Fine Art in Baltimore. Over a four-year studio art education, she became  immersed in the centuries-long legacy of classical painting and  draftsmanship. Afterwards, she completed a two-year apprenticeship with  master realist painter Will Wilson. She currently works and teaches in  San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Vivian works in a range of genres and  styles, from spontaneous alla prima florals to highly refined portrait commissions. She has won numerous awards over the past decade including prestigious awards from BoldBrush, Richeson and Portrait Society of America.
