Live Online Workshop:

Painting Figures Loosely

with Heather Arenas

Demystify Impressionist figures in 4 weeks and create artwork that tells a story better than a photo, without painting every single detail.

Learn to paint figures into your story without relying solely on a photo reference and watch the painting come to life.

“Heather demonstrated everything from start to finish, in between giving us direction and feedback on our own paintings as we learned. It was relaxed and fun and a joy to network with other artists!”
– Patricia

Here is what you get when you secure your seat:

  • 4 weekly 90 Minute Live Lessons: Bite-sized, jam-packed lessons that maximize your time and learning.

  • Limited Palette: Limiting the palette to just 4 oil colors allows you to learn to paint the figure in a painterly way, rather than matching the photo reference exactly. It also prevents being overwhelmed by color choices and saves you money on materials!

  • Gestural Painting Techniques: I’ll teach you exactly how to handle your paint brush to achieve the looseness and allow for ‘happy accidents’.

  • Demonstrations and Discussion: Each lesson includes step-by-step live demonstration, contemporary painter references and practical tips so you can make bold choices in your own work and develop your own voice.

  • Lesson Recording: So you can pause and rewatch the lessons at your own pace.

  • Weekly 1x1 Zoom Critique: To affirm your progress and get help making decisions so you can move on to the next lesson smoothly.

  • Small Class Size: Only 5 spots to assure you get ample time and feedback.

“This is a great workshop! Not only is Heather an amazing artist but she is also a fabulous teacher. She is down to earth and relates to everyone no matter their skill level. She touches on basics like composition, perspective, and value in a refreshing way.
Being able to watch the demo and hear her thought process as she paints and problem solves is priceless.
The weekly individual followup is perfect for feedback right after you’ve painted and have questions pertaining to your own experience.
Heather is an absolute delight!"

"I was able to gain a better foundation of oil painting (professional artist but oil painting is a new medium to me) and went away with some really amazing gems that hit on the 'it factor' of what makes Heather's work special and how I can incorporate that into my own work. I would certainly recommend this workshop to others considering pushing their figurative development!"
