This oil painting workshop will be fun and informative, as you learn how to paint from the heart, using Ted’s five “C’s” to achieve dramatic paintings. You’ll explore creating detailed textures such as fur by painting a curious raccoon in a tree, using natural light and shadows to create interest and form. You’ll also learn to paint feathers by painting a songbird in its natural habitat. Drawing skills lacking? Not a problem, as you’ll be tracing your subjects onto the canvas, allowing for more time to work on some wonderful new techniques.

  Artist Statement:
  I like to believe that when my brush dances between imagination and reality, something magical can happen. When it does, the emotional connection between me and my subject says it all. Design, values and color are the means to express a moment in time, captured in dramatic watercolor or oils. I’m blessed beyond measure to be an artist, and treasure every step in this journey.
