Brushwork: 5 Day Workshop
Teachers: Hongnian Zhang and Lois Woolley
Partners in Art at the Carnegie Art Center
August 22—26, 2022
Monday—Friday – 9:30am-4:30pm
$650—deposit of $150 to hold your spot
Brushwork is the poetry of a painting and probably the most overlooked technical aspect of painting. This workshop will explore methods of getting your paint from palette to brush to canvas.
- How can the “way” you apply your paint help to define shape and form?
- How many brush strokes can you apply without going back for more paint?
- How do you use brushstrokes to create expressive shape and edges?
You will have the opportunity to paint a still life, an interior, a portrait or landscape as your subject since brushwork applies to all genres of painting.
Hongnian Zhang is internationally renowned for his magnificent and monumental figurative work and Lois Woolley is a nationally acclaimed portrait artist.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to work with these critically acclaimed artists. Please feel free to browse their websites for more information.
