Teresa Oaxaca: Painting the Portrait Alla Prima

Don’t miss your opportunity to work with the exceptional painter and instructor, Teresa Oaxaca!

Alla prima is Italian for "at first attempt," an apt description and a good goal for a class that has a different long pose each day.

The first day of class begins with a painting demonstration by the instructor, followed by students working individually from the live model and receiving constructive critiques.

Through this workshop students will create three separate paintings.

The course includes a materials lecture and examples for study. Topics of discussion include creating emphasis with edges and contrast, light and dark, drawing, and navigating color and texture.

Please sign up early; class size is limited.
