Rose
Frantzen
Painting Workshop at Old City Hall Gallery
Maquoketa, Iowa, September 29 to October 3, 2008
This five
day intensive workshop will begin with a focus on portrait painting in
oil. We will try to cover all aspects of portrait painting, from palette
choices to drawing to seeing and capturing the colors and forms we see in the
model, all the while attempting to maintain a critical and patient eye.
Judging from the needs of the group, as well as the individual, we will then
tailor the rest of the workshop, possibly moving to a figurative pose with an exploration of the ways in which a figurative painting
can move beyond a studio representation to become a symbolic expression of some
aspect of human experience.
Rose's portrait demonstration on the first day of the workshop, September 29th, can be attended by artists who are not attending the entire workshop. The fee for attending only the portrait demonstration is $120.
The fee for the five-day workshop is $600. There is also a $75 modeling fee to pay for having two models each day, so all participants will be near a model. Participants will need to bring their own materials.
