Landscape Painting: Expressive Realism with Antwan Ramar

At Depot Hill Creative

Workshop Overview
Join us for a 2-day workshop focused on representational realism. We will move beyond "copying" a scene to capturing its essence, poetry, and atmosphere through fundamental painting techniques and personal interpretation. Antwan will share methods developed over the last decade to help you stay present and eliminate the frustration often associated with painting. The instructor will be working in oils, but all wet, media is welcome.
