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!”

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.

“Taking this workshop has given me more tools for improving my work, especially in my oil paintings. Heather was excellent in giving each participant the individual instruction to help with their specific problems. She was fun and had a way of making everyone in the group feel at ease. I would highly recommend Heather to other aspiring, as well as advanced artists. I learned some new tips and tricks which I hope will help to improve my paintings."

"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!"
