flesh tones; creating interesting backgrounds for the subject with
varied and unusual surface textures, and ways to incorporate thick,
juicy brushstrokes in painting hair, clothing, etc. The use of contrast
to create rich, powerful paintings will also be demonstrated and
incorporated when painting in this informal, yet information-filled
class. Students are encouraged to bring notebooks; and to ask as many
questions as possible in order to take away information that they can
REALLY USE in their own ongoing work! Scott's classes are
known for their relaxed and joyful atmosphere, and non-intimidating,
and informal character. A truly fun workshop for students of all
levels! The cost is $300USD per student for the three
days.Class size limited. Contact Jill Logan at (612) 145-0151
