Painting Focus on developing a painterly approach, simplifying shapes, creating form & painting alla prima. Bob teaches the entire process - balanced composition; under painting to create clean color; good value relationships; mixing colors & color theory; & refining details to complete the work. He uses question & answer sessions during his demonstrations to fully explain techniques & clarify his approach to painting. Individual instruction is an important part of Mr. Rohm’s workshops. Students may work in oils or pastels. Bob says, "Which of the mediums used is not important, the workshop focuses on how to paint, not what medium you are using. A good natured but serious atmosphere is maintained for maximum benefit of painting time. This workshop is for anyone interested in learning to develop creative, painterly paintings with clean, rich color & dynamic compositions." |
