Rogue Begonia is thrilled to host an intensive 3-day portrait workshop with Suzann Beck designed for busy artists who want to progress quickly and strengthen their core competencies in portrait painting. You’ll learn how Suzann’s principled, contemporary approach to portraiture can guide you to create a fresh, realistic painting in one sitting—alla prima style. We will have 5 distinct model sessions with ample time to practice the hands-on application of your learning. Come for the instruction, and stay for the laughs, lattes, and new painting connections!
This workshop focuses on the foundational skills that lead to successful alla prima painting and features demonstrations with ample hands-on student work. This workshop is appropriate for portrait painters of all levels.
