About this Event

https://ericmichaelsfineart.com/

In this workshop I will concentrate on some subtle, but very important tools, that can be employed to transform a flat image into a dynamic and expressive painting. We will explore the utilization of light and dark values, warm and cool colors, soft and hard edges, areas of detail and rest, and more. All of these create depth and realism, guide the viewer’s eye and enhance the visual impact. I will demonstrate as necessary and work with each individual participant as often as possible. One of my main objectives is that we all work hard, have fun and enjoy the process.
