This monthly figure workshop will meet from 10am to 4:30pm with a break
for lunch. Each class is a separate, one day workshop addressing a
different aspect of painting the figure such as; setting up the model,
paint handling, problem solving and the process of making an emotional
statement with your work. The morning session will include a demo and
lecture, followed by individual instruction as each student paints the
model. A strong emphasis is placed on the need to create preliminary
sketches as the foundation for stronger paintings. This is an intensive
program, designed to strengthen skills of perception as well as mastery
of the medium. Perfect for promising young artists (16+) who are
preparing for a career in the visual arts. Cost: $80. per class with
payment due one week in advance. Classes are held in the Hingham
Studio, 3 Pond Park Road, Hingham, MA 02043.
"A work of art does not appeal to the intellect, it's aim not to
instruct, but to awaken an emotion." - George Inness
