Abstraction and the Figure

Paint with nationally known artist Michael Steirnagle and learn his approach to painting.  Michael has taught workshops throughout California and conducts a yearly workshop at the famous Scottsdale Artists’ School.  He exhibits at the Coda Gallery in Palm Desert as well as several galleries one the East Coast. 

This workshop is geared toward the painter who enjoys painting the figure but wants to learn how to move away from realism.  He will guide you through his methods of approaching a painting, paying attention to structure, motifs, color and most of all creating a sense of luminous light.  He will be demonstrating in oils, but the methods utilized apply to watercolor, acrylics and pastels as well.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO DRAW THE FIGURE WELL TO TAKE THIS WORKSHOP.  SOME PAINTING EXPERIENCE IS REQUIRED, HOWEVER.
