From Ho-hum to Fabulous!
Two-Day Workshop: Saturday, August 1st & Sunday, August 2nd, 10:00AM – 3:00PM
In this workshop you will take a look at a few of your paintings that have always needed “something” and try to make changes that will turn it into a winner. Bring an old oil painting (or several) that never worked and with Nancy’s help, you will learn to evaluate what isn’t working and how to change it. We will spend some time talking about ways to prepare the painting for reworking, and then we will try to rescue some of those frustrating canvases stacked in the back of our closets! Nancy will demonstrate with one of her own old, unsatisfactory paintings. We all have them, let’s let them see the light again. We’ll use alternative tools and different methods. Maybe it will work, maybe it won’t, but we’ll have fun in the process! In this workshop you’ll revisit principles of design, drawing, values and colors.
