Representational Painting Workshop with Julyan Davis and Dan Helgemo, this coming Wednesday and Thursday

An intensive representational painting workshop is scheduled for Dec. 9 and 10 at the beautiful Marshall High Studios - D. Helgemo Studio of Drawing and Painting. Internationally renowned painter Julyan Davis and Boston School trained impressionist/realist painter Dan Helgemo will be instructing students in a variety of disciplines relevant to the representational painter.

The first 2 day workshop will focus on tonalist landscape painting techniques. frequent future workshop/classes will follow regularly that will cover a range of genres/practice including portrait drawing and painting, still life painting, the plein air landscape (on location in scenic Marshall), how to 'make it' as an artist and more. The focus of each workshop will be catered to the individual direction and area of pursuit of each student but with a push to do whatever it takes to improve on any area of weakness.

Teaching will proceed through demonstration and discussion but emphasize practical application and individual instruction and critiques. Emphasis will also be given to imparting to the students the right tools for their own work in their own studios in order to develop independently as artists.

Interested students should call Dan at 864-201-9363. These classes are small and are filling up quickly.
