Learn to draw the figure's essence with simple shapes that suggest the figure rather than render it in detail.The focus is on painting people in an environment and designing the figure-ground relationship. You’ll also learn to mix value and temperature as a unit with clean colors to create the illusion of light on form. Plan on doing a lot of sketches in charcoal, monochrome, and small color studies. Eli will also show you how to get figures in your landscape paintings to bring life and vitality to your scenes.
She'll begin with a step-by-step demo; then, students will paint from references and the live model. This will be a fun and inspirational workshop!

"I've always been influenced by the power of images to express ideas and emotions. Painting is a process of discovery and decision-making where disparate elements pull together until the image is clearly expressed. I'm drawn to the human form, where figures exist in representational and painterly worlds. I'll often explore a narrative theme to capture the emotional power of a moment in time. Common, everyday things can be beautiful and resonant without being manipulative or artificially provocative. Landscape painting, for me, is a journey in search of something that evokes a personal response to nature beyond the obvious and descriptive. Ultimately, my concerns are with the expressive qualities of light captured with paint. Contemporary Impressionism best describes my style."
