Genre Painting

Workshop

ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP

Genre Painting is a kind of figurative painting that depicts ordinary people engaged in everyday activities. Their gestures and facial expressions work together with the setting to create a story. In this workshop, students will paint a genre painting from a live model who will be posed in a genre scene that Woolley will create.
Learn how to plan a strong composition. Improved skills at achieving accurate proportions, interesting gestures, and compelling expressions when painting people. Learn how your painting’s story is told by the model’s pose and setting and how to control the mood through use of color and lighting.

Suitable for all levels. Ages 16+

Friday – Saturday, March 24 and 25, 2023
9:00 AM – 4:00 PM

$302 ($262 tuition & $40 model fee)

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

Lois Woolley is an award-winning painter who specializes in portraiture. She approaches every commission with warmth and sensitivity. She paints each person with the goal of revealing the things they like best about themselves. Her style combines traditional realism with rich, impressionistic color. Lois’s passion for art and portraiture began during her childhood, which was spent near Washington, DC. Her family encouraged her talent with frequent visits to the city’s art museums, and summer classes at the Corcoran Gallery. Lois moved to New York when she was eighteen to continue her education at the Art Students League. She has studied with Robert Beverly Hale, Robert Brackman, Daniel Greene, David Leffel, and Hongnian Zhang. These teachers have had the greatest influence on the development of her talent and style. In 2000, she co-authored The Yin-Yang of Painting, which presents Zhang’s color theory, palette and methods. For more information about Wooley, click here.
