This painting workshop focuses on three proven methods of working inthe studio to make larger and more

finished paintings from painted sketches, studies, and photographs made en plein air. The instructor will

demonstrate the traditional “cartoon” tracing method used by famous artists’ who painted from memory

to develop value in transferring an image. He will also show how modern painter’s work with photography

and the digital camera, painting directly from their laptop and how to use an opaque projector correctly to

create accurate proportions as in the original studies painted on site. Students will also learn how to carry

over the freshness and excitement of the plein air study in the larger painting by examining when to stop

and when a painting is finished. The instructor will demonstrate from a study of his own and make

suggestions toward using the right technique, composition, and subject development in creating an effective

large painting. Painters may work in watercolor or oil painting mediums. Michael will also have on

hand visual examples to share with the class. This workshop is for anyone who has ever had difficulty making
