Workshop Outline

1. Finding Your own artistic voice — The difference between what we look at and what we actually see as unique individuals.
2. The Big Picture: Approach and Philosophy — What we choose to paint and why. These are the driving forces that keep artists motivated and allow you to stand out from other artists.
3. The Natural World — Exercises, demonstrations, and discussion on painting elements of the non-man made world: skies, water, reflections, landscape, atmosphere. In-depth exercises in composition, value, and establishing depth in our work.
4. The Man-made World — More exercises, demonstrations, and discussion but, this time, on the subjects of architecture and cityscapes. Various means of perspective and depth will be covered, as well as ways of editing, making complex subject matter less daunting, and even effective ways of painting the human figure into the urban landscape.
5. Interpretation — Tom will help you look at the world in new ways, find interest in subjects you may have ignored before, and how to paint purely from reference photos.
