Experience the dramatic interplay of light and dark in this immersive weekend workshop. Inspired by the legendary “Tenebrism” of Caravaggio and the soulful luminosity of Rembrandt, this course breaks down the complex Old Master techniques into a practical, step-by-step curriculum. Whether you are picking up a brush for the first time or looking to add “weight” and atmosphere to your professional portfolio, you will leave with a finished study and a deeper understanding of visual drama.
