Impressionist Weekend Workshop: Portrait and Figure on the Beach
June 5-6,2010 - 9:30 am - 3:30 pm

Instructor:John Ebersberger - http://johnebersberger.com/classes.htm

Join us for our annual beachfront painting workshop! We will have four models posing in outdoor sunlight on a private beach overlooking the beautiful Magothy River. Two models will be seated for portrait study, and two will be standing at water's edge. The concentration will be on color and it's use in conveying the illusion of light in oil painting. Students will learn the classic Hawthorne/Hensche approach to this exciting realm of study. Still life set-ups will also be available for those just getting started, or those who do not wish to paint the figure.
