-- THE THREE B’s -- Painting with NANCY FRANKE
Backgrounds, Brushwork and Bravura!
April 21 and 22, 2016


This two-day session is for experienced painters (preferably those that have taken at least one workshop with Nancy), who seek to add uniqueness and life to their paintings.
One’s personal signature can be found by learning approaches to create lively, yet
complementary background effects, along with confident and bold brushwork.

When the painter is open to experimenting with different ideas, the finished painting will often come alive with bravura and individuality. Also -- trying these “what- if’s” is fun – and just might light up a path to unexpected results and breakthroughs!
Be prepared to work from life set-ups as well as photos - both objects and figures; also, bring along a painting or two which needs “something” to make it sing.
We will focus on taking our paintings beyond the subject matter and into the realm of magic!

​Learn the importance of color theory, light and shadow theory, and correct observation, to create paintings with a professional and dynamic look.  Through a variety of lecture, demonstration, and one on one assistance, you be challenged to apply some unique techniques, and to think in new ways about oil painting.  We'll cover landscape, cityscape, and still life subject matter, and cover a variety of additional topics, such as brushwork, compostion, and materials advice.
