In the Rehearsal Room: Huihan Liu Painting Workshop

Description - This Workshop will emphasize capturing and translating body gestures, facial expressions, and interactions between danceers...into a painting that goes beyond a mere copy of the scene. The thoughtfully desined, 5-day workshop will begin with oil sketch exercises in a staged rehearsal space with multiple danxers, and by combining short and long poses to warm up the creative process. Huihan also will take us to a real time rehearsal room at Sarasota Contemporary Dance Company to sketch and photoghraph for further painting development. Finally, Huihan will guide us through the use of sketches, and reference photos for composition, color, and value structure in creating our own dynamic, narrative panting(s). "In the Rehearsal Room" workshop is designed for artists already comfortable painting from life who wish to elevate their skills in multi-figure painting and composition. Preceding the workshop on May 1 from 12pm-4pm , Huihan will give a Free Portrait Demo
