Online Figure Painting with Hollis Dunlap

We are thrilled to have Hollis Dunlap back to Townsend Atelier–this time, virtually! This is a 3-day oil painting workshop designed to explore various realist painting techniques with modern color and paint application. Students will work from virtual unclothed models via zoom in long poses and learn about composition, color, drawing, and

how to make the paint surface interesting. The fundamental theme will be to learn how to develop confidence in working directly with paint, as well as exploring classic drawing styles and harmonious color.

All levels are welcome but some experience with oil paints is preferred.  We will paint together via zoom each day in a somewhat traditional manner, with 20-minute poses and 5-minute breaks where the instructor will discuss the choices he has made in his painting up to that point.  Plenty of painting demos will be done by Hollis.  Each afternoon, we will have a group critique where we will discuss the paintings and answer any questions the students may have.  Join us from anywhere via ZOOM.  The workshop will be held EST.
