The NFCA will be hosting a workshop with Deborah Tilby this summer. Deborah has won a multitude of national and international awards. She has been featured in major art publications and is represented by established commercial galleries.
Deborah’s goals for the workshop are described below:
“So many elements go into making a good painting and in this workshop we will cover as many as time permits, including composition, value sketches, black and white studies and blocking in with full colour. We will pay particular attention to making a good beginning. The initial block in can have an enormous effect on the progress of that painting; it can flow relatively smoothly or be a struggle all the way through. I will demonstrate several ways to tackle that initial block in.
I’ll offer individual help and will demonstrate my approach to any problems that arise.
Reference photos will be available but you may bring any that you feel will make good paintings.”
*The workshop is for novice to intermediate level. Demonstrations will be in oil. Acrylic painters are welcome. Max capacity 15 people.
