			#WKS-1001: Painting Facial Features Workshop June 10-14, 2010 (9 am - 4 pm) — This class is designed to give the student an in-depth knowledge of the individual features of the face (eyes, nose, mouth) and how they should be observed and painted from three different views (full-face, 3/4, and profile). Students will work exclusively from photographs of models of varying ages, gender and race to practice the painting of features. No previous drawing experience is required. The photographs used as reference material put the painter at ease because they are already in a two-dimensional format, making the transition from photo to painting much easier to understand. The last day of class will be devoted to painting an entire head from a photograph, putting all the features together.

			#SCH-1005 Old Master Methods One: The Flemish Method October 25 - 30, 2010 (9 am - 4 pm) — Study with Johnnie Liliedahl and learn fine art principles and painting techniques that will elevate your paintings to a new level. Students will learn the academic theories, methods and techniques of traditional, representational, realistic oil painting. The entire week is spent on one long project, designed to give the student the experience of the painting process from start to finish. You will learn to paint original figurative paintings from beautifully posed, photographic resources using the Flemish Old Masters technique. While working with live models is desirable, painters do not always have the time or access to full-time live models, and must rely on photographs, drawings or small painted studies for their composition. Teaching the process of assembling the right resources, and how to use them is part of the curriculum of this class.

			#SCH-1006 Old Master Methods Two: The Venetian Method November 2-7, 2010 (9 am - 4 pm) — Study with Johnnie Liliedahl and learn fine art principles and painting techniques that will elevate your paintings to a new level.

The entire week is spent on one long project, designed to give the student the experience of the painting process from start to finish. You will learn to paint original figurative paintings from beautifully posed, photographic resources using the Venetian Method. The monochromatic, opaque underpainting is as detailed as the finished work in color. This method creates an undeniable sense of presence in any painting executed in this manner. While the underpainting cannot be seen, except by the trained eye, its structure, tonal range and brushwork serve to make the finished work in color appear more vivid.
