1:00 – 3:00pm
The Alchemy of Oil Painting: Visionary Techniques & Traditional Methods
with Aloria Weaver & David Heskin
$30

JoinOIls and Pigments web us for a 2 hour intensive workshop, as we present numerous approaches to indirect oil painting through visual presentations and demonstrations in addition to an in-depth exploration of archival artists’ materials where we de-mystify the vast world of modern & traditional art supplies, and explain the chemistry of oil painting.

From the Renaissance to the modern day, traditional principles have continued to serve as the DnA_Hofburg_grandefoundation for new visions to emerge. We’ll introduce time-tested and innovative approaches to oil painting through many stages of the process, including preliminary drawing, underpainting, glazing and overpainting methods.

Whether you are a tattoo artist looking to broaden your skills or already a painter, this workshop offers a taste of the living lineage of oil painting that we offer in our courses both nationally and internationally.

David Heskin and Aloria Weaver offer their 25 years of experience in oil painting, drawing upon 3 distinct artistic lineages including traditional egg tempera and Mischtechnik painting.  They are known as artist-alchemists by their students and colleagues.

They will be teaching an expanded 5 Day Painting Intensive on July 27th-31st in Loveland, Colorado.
