Traditional oil and watercolor painting techniques scaled down to a small format (3x4 inches)
in an alla prima method of painting will be the focus of these workshops. There will be class
discussion as well as daily demonstrations of color theory, composition and brush work. We
will use complementary color palettes which naturally yield harmonious paintings. The
workshop follows the principals described in Big Art,Small Canvas. Still lifes will be done from
life. Individual attention will be given to all level of students
A note about the advantages of painting in miniature: shipping is cheaper, storage is less of a problem, paints supplies
last longer, and it is much less stress on the body. Much more can be learned in a shorter amount of time since
finishing a piece isn’t too time consuming. For those people who are allergic or sensitive to oil paint this is a great
alternative since so little paint is used and no mediums are needed to thin the paint.I recommend using Masters Brush
Cleaner to clean brushes. (Since small brushes are used they are easily cleaned with this turpless cleaner.)
