Workshop: Loosen Up! Painting Figures from Photos
Join Robin Cheers as she shares how to paint people so they look natural and integrated in your paintings even if you have never painted the figure before! Learn to see the figure as part of the whole scene, ensure accurate proportion and scale from the start, and work with multiple figures and background scenery.
Learn how to avoid copying every detail to create impressionistic paintings using the alla prima approach to organizing your painting and working wet on wet. Learn to choose the best photo references to turn your special moments into meaningful paintings.
This three-day workshop is designed for students of all skill levels. Robin will do a short presentation and demo each day and then spend the remainder working with students individually at their level. Students are welcome to work from Robin’s reference photos or bring their own.
