Painting the Environment: A Two-Day Oil Painting Workshop

About this event

Join Stacy Kamin for a two-day workshop exploring the art of painting the environment in oils. Working from reference photographs carefully selected by Stacy, students will learn how to transform an ordinary scene into a beautiful painting through thoughtful observation and a deeper understanding of the language of painting.

Through demonstrations and individualized instruction, students will explore expressive brushwork, creating the illusion of form, maintaining the freshness and vitality of each brushstroke, and the thoughtful control of values, color, edges, and color temperature. Rather than simply copying the reference, students will learn to simplify complexity, strengthen composition, and make purposeful artistic decisions that lead to stronger, more beautiful paintings.

Designed for both beginning and experienced oil painters, this workshop provides a supportive learning environment where each student receives personalized instruction tailored to their individual level. By the end of the workshop, students will have a deeper understanding of how to organize a painting and confidently use the fundamental principles of representational painting to create expressive, beautifully crafted works.
