Join artist and instructor Donna Bland for an unforgettable and informative three-day painting workshop inspired by the Techniques of the Masters. This immersive experience will guide participants through value studies, color mixing, and strong compositional design while creating beautiful oil paintings in an impressionist style.
Through demonstrations, guided practice, and individualized instruction, students will explore time-honored techniques used by master painters and learn how to apply them to their own work. Emphasis will be placed on understanding light and shadow, achieving harmony in color, and developing confident, expressive brushwork.
This workshop is ideal for artists looking to deepen their technical skills while gaining insight into classical approaches that continue to influence contemporary painting today.
