A viewfinder is a simple yet useful tool that helps artists and designers observe, select, and isolate elements in a scene such as line, shape, and colour to create a compelling composition for their audience. 

Through demos and exercises, you will be introduced to a range of painting applications that teach you how to effectively use perspective, colour, form, and observation in your work. The workshop concludes with a demo on how to photo document your painting and process work for your portfolio, website, or social media. 

*Please note that the live model will be clothed.

  • How to develop technical and observational skills in rendering the human figure
