Taking the Bull by the Horns: Creating a Body of Work

1-3 pm (Mon)
10-4 pm (Tues-Fri)
Alexandria, VA
Participants plan and begin a series of three to four paintings based on their own photos and sketches. On the first day, students meet with Diane to review ideas and plan subject matter for the week. Rolled canvas and stretching supplies will be made available so we can move beyond the boundaries of standard canvas sizes. This workshop offers a chance to explore a subject in depth and from different angles while developing several paintings simultaneously. Following the workshop, participants can keep in contact with Diane via email for feedback on work in progress.
Classes are held in Old Town Alexandria at the Art League School, 703 683-2323.
