  • Pickle Street School Studio 2980 134th Avenue Hopkins, MI, 49328 United States (map)

with Barbara Schilling

  • Two day workshop: Wednesday, Sept. 30 & Thursday,

    Oct. 1, 2020

  • 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. daily

  • $195.00

In this 2-day workshop you will learn techniques that will help you bring life into your work. It’s useful information for either the beginner painter or the highly experienced looking to challenge themselves to a new direction in their art.

We will discuss tools, substrates and mediums that will work best with thicker, bolder painting techniques. We will also be working primarily from photo references of your choosing, but be prepared to take that reference in a much looser, bolder direction. Wake up that sleepy, creative inside of you! Let's get BOLD with our brushes!

MATERIALS TO BRING:

Students will provide their own materials. A supply list will be sent out prior to the workshop. If you have worked in oils before, you will probably have most everything you will need.

Contact Pickle Street School Studio to register.


ABOUT THE ARTIST

Barbara’s whole life has been surrounded with and involved in the arts. She has spent over 35 years in a successful career as an art conservator/restorer. Oil painting has always been her true passion, and she has studied both formally and informally, although she feels the best experience comes from time at the easel.

Barbara loves challenging herself with new techniques and processes — it is important to keeping oneself growing as an artist. She looks forward sharing what she’s learned with you!
