ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP
Genre Painting is a kind of figurative painting that depicts ordinary people engaged in common activities. Their gestures and facial expressions work together with the setting to create a story that the viewer can relate to. In this workshop, after reviewing genre painting examples from art history, Woolley will create a genre scene with the posed model occupied in a task.
