- Description -
The tradition of Trompe l’oeil painting has been around for hundreds of years and is still being practiced today. Artists’ have long been creating paintings with the idea to “fool the eye”. In this 3.5-day workshop we will take a deep dive into the practice of Trompe l’oeil painting. Through individual critiques, and various instructor demonstrations, artists will work alongside the instructor to create their own Trompe l’oeil painting. Some of the information covered over the three days will be the value/poster study, brush drawing, underpainting options, the final pass, and glazing/scumbling.
