ARTIST TRACK

FOUNDATIONS OF OIL PAINTING

WITH FRANK ORDAZ

We are thrilled to have Frank with us to instruct artists in a variety of techniques and styles. This hands-on portrait and figurative painting workshop. will help artists learn how to recognize your "Voice" as an artist and break out of old patterns. Artists will  examine composition, values,  style,  color palette, and details that give expression and the finishing touches that set your portrait work apart.  Guided exercises will take participants through practice steps  of working with a live model.

​

Skill level:  Artists with a moderate to intermediate amount of experience will best benefit from this class.  Not suitable for beginners.

Frank considers the dignity of every human being worthy of a  portrait.
