Secrets from the Masters Series — Flesh Tones & Portraits

June 2, 3 &4 , Craig Srebnik, $265 for members - $295 for non-members, 9:00-4:00

At this three day event, Craig will introduce and demonstrate his methods — the “Secrets” used by Classical through contemporary figure painting Masters. Craig's packed evening demonstration at OSA was a perfect introduction to how he teaches. Look for a complete description online. Open to artists of all levels. Demonstrations are in oil.

This will consist of how to lay down confident brushstrokes, how to paint light, compositions, figures and other problem areas (students will be encouraged to follow along). After lunch break Ron will demonstrate a painting. The rest of the day students can work on a painting of their choice.
Day Two weather permitting will be on location. Ron will do two paintings of the Portland downtown, one in the morning and one after lunch with time for students to paint after his demo. There will be a critique at the end of the day. Day two is designed to help those studio artists paint quickly, concentrate on shapes and values rather than details and succeed in a plein air setting. There will be a lot of one on one instruction. All levels welcome. For Saturday students should be prepared to paint outdoors. Please bring water, appropriate clothing and footwear
