Steps in the Production of a Painting Video
I just started playing around with some new video software and have put together some videos on the painting process, mostly aimed at helping my students.
Here is one on the steps in the production of a painting:

Workshop in Edmonton

This May I will be hosting a portrait painting (oils) workshop at my studio in Edmonton. This week-long course will be taught by my friend, Martinho Correia.
Martinho was the former painting instructor at the famous Angel Academy in Florence, Italy. I personally consider this school the best place to learn the technical skills of classical realist methods and have taken many workshops on the processes they teach.
With a class limited to 10 students, we’ll have 2 models set up with 5 artists around each model. Students will go through a thorough process to produced a painted portrait from life. Martinho will be the main instructor, but I will also be available to help, and you will have access to my studio for the week to witness my oil painted illustrations and process up close.
We are excited to offer this course and I think it will be alot of fun. I just want to underscore the opportunity this workshop provides, especially for Western Canadians who have limited exposure to this type of instruction and experience. Both Martinho and I have traveled and studied extensively in artistic hotbeds at great time and financial expense. To spend a week at my studio studying with us is a fantastic opportunity to absorb our knowledge with a small class size and in the inspiring setting of my working studio. I would have killed to go to a workshop like this 10 years ago, but had to make many costly trips to build my knowledge of this craft. For anyone interested in travelling to this workshop, I can help you with logistics like hotels, so just ask.
I have created a Facebook event for this workshop. Feel free to join this page for future info or to discuss and ask questions.
