                  Saturday,October 5th and Sunday October the 6th
           - 10am until 4pm both days

Join master painter Paul Chizik for a two day exploration in mastercopy and traditional portrait/figure painting. Students will select a master painting to copy, and Paul will spend the weekend with you deconstructing the image that you have selected, and rebuilding your masterpiece using traditional old master techniques.


For hundreds of years, old masters copied old masters. It was a great way for painters to hone in on their skills and learn vital techniques by replicating great masters from the past. By choosing a master of your choice, the student can learn various techniques as well as get a better understanding of a system that was employed during that era. Comparative and site size measurement will be demonstrated and learned as well as understanding morphology (The shape of things) and rheology( plastic flow of material) eg. paint. A demo will be included along with the tonal method of approach

                         

$280 for the weekend. A supply list will be provided upon registration.

To register, please phone the studio (604) 250-5562, or email the studio denecroft@gmail.com

Cut off for this workshop will be October 1st . Numbers will be limited to 10 only.
