NOW AVAILABLE
Get StartedCLASS DESCRIPTION
Stop using lines to paint wrinkles. Do more than just recreate a reference. Make art that impacts those who see it.
Use the language of color and brushwork to tell a story. Don't just paint a face. For many artists painting is what happens with you put brush to canvas. But we must do more than recreate a reference image. We must be able to use structure, skills and our unique expression to put a story on canvas.
Sometimes we know the story before we start and sometimes the painting tells us the story. Charla will demonstrate how she not just chooses her colors and stokes but how she also makes space for the piece to evolve as she works.
