Accurate Color Wash, Open Grisaille and Value Block-In.

In the afternoon students will paint from the live model or from photos provided by Tina.

She will share her practical strategies to create an accurate color palette to understand values, temperature and how they create form.

Tina also will share two simple techniques for accurate drawing.

Students will focus intently on the creation of an accurate palette.

Tina will demonstrate the processes she employs in all her works, focusing on composition, values, chroma, edges, mark making, and will demonstrate how to control your palette for accurate values and color.

“Of all the workshops I have attended, I feel that this one made the largest and quickest influence in my work. At the end of day two, I felt that the small 4 inch section of a face I had done was the best work I've ever done! Thank you Tina, for your expertise, your generosity in sharing that with us and for your amazing heart” — D.H., TEXAS

“The most informative workshop I've been to. You're the most 'giving you all I've got' artist/teacher I've known — and your honesty is a virtue that is so important to me! I have been in a painting slump for a few months and much of what you said really encouraged me, now I'm very inspired and motivated to go home and DO THE WORK!” — DEBI MURRAY, INDIANA
