Oil Painting Demo Session 4
2:45-3:45PM
Nancy will demonstrate an exercise called “Limited Stroke” (or the Golf Exercise) that she uses to help students simplify their subject matter, using well planned, deliberate strokes with a lot of paint. No overworking or blending! The result can be a rather abstract, simple painting with wonderful surface quality and an effortless feel. She will work from a simple well lit set up in oils.
