Floral Painting with Kamille Corry

August 3-7 10 am-5 pm EST @ Townsend Atelier Instructor:  Kamille Corry This five-day floral painting workshop will challenge the students to capture the ever-changing form, character, and beauty of fresh flowers. We will spend the first half of the workshop practicing techniques for individual flowers – concentrating on color, form, and values, as well as using the consistency of oil paints to describe texture and form. In the second half of the course, we will create a small composition with multiple flowers, working on the design, light effect, and overall color scheme. We will also discuss tips and tricks for keeping the flowers in place and as fresh as possible. Kamille will paint alongside the students and give individual critiques throughout the week. A variety of gorgeous flowers selected by the instructor will be supplied.  If you would like to bring your own, that is fine.  Experience painting in oils is highly recommended. There will be a one-hour lunch break each day. Lunch is on your own. For those traveling from out of town, if you need help with accommodation recommendations, feel free to contact us. We will be happy to help!
