Chantel Barber Workshop at On Track Studios
Chestnut Chantel Barber is coming to On Track Studios to teach a two-day workshop on May 18-19th, 2018. Get ready for a unique and magical journey focusing on the portrait. Chantel has a gentle style and methodically teaches from her vast array of knowledge. This comprehensive two-day workshop is designed to share tips and techniques learned from over twenty-five years of working in the acrylic medium. Whether a beginner, intermediate, or advanced artist, you will be enriched as she demonstrates painting the portrait from reference photos, without losing the energy and vitality of working from life. Students will learn: essential acrylic materials and how to use them, what photographs make the best references for portrait and figure painting, editing (what you leave out is just as important as what you keep in), color mixing tips, and techniques for capturing a likeness. Students will also learn the importance of edges when working in acrylic. Students are encouraged to bring their own photographs, however Chantel will have some on hand if needed. Don’t miss this exciting and thorough look into the portrait as Chantel guides students along this 2-day journey. Oil painters are welcome.
Chantel’s work is also featured in the June/July 2018 issue of International Artist Magazine. The eight-page article showcases her work and painting techniques.
The workshop cost is $275.00 and details on registering can be found at:
