"Expressive Painting from a Model: Early Stages" with Geoff Farnsworth, Contemporary Fine Art Painter

Geoff Farnsworth will demonstrate how he approaches creating a figurative expressive painting from a model. Using oils, he will show how he sets up the canvas by laying in the figure with line work and tonal areas, with a special concern for colour and edges. From there he develops the piece by brushing in the paint and wiping it off, all the while instructing how he melds observation and classic portraiture with expression and abstraction.

Members are encouraged to bring sketchbooks if they would like to draw along, and are welcome to take photographs throughout the demonstration.

Also, bring in your paintings for this month's ART CHALLENGE:

BLAST FROM THE PAST (Ex. paisley, vintage cars, etc.)

Surprise us with your creations, and be sure to bring the title, medium, and a few lines about how your piece is a Blast from the Past!
