By purchasing and participating in Brush it Bold workshops with Sheila Davis I hereby agree to all Terms and Conditions ​​
Day 1 arrival  for 930 set up.

We will start with a brief talk about subject - muse and inspiration and how to see it and bring that forward in your work. the definition of good composition, value , colour and line. I will explain the palette I use and why. the surface I use and why and the best setup for painting. 

I will paint in stages allowing the class working time between. I will start by demonstrating my value sketch ( on the surface), then we will block in the colour and begin working up the subject. 

Day 2 will be  finessing values, colour and details. Adding those little marks that make a painting sing. I will talk about varnishing, storing and presenting your work. If time allows we will do a class critique and/or have a discussion on promotion and social media. ​
Beginner to intermediate painters should work from my image. I will provide colour prints.
​More advanced painters should work from their own images.

I work and teach in oil with odourless mineral Spirits. You will NOT get the same affects as myself working on CANVAS or with acrylic. But I will help you along. Acrylic are best used with an extender such as Golden GAC 500


I will paint a 36 X 36 Size. We will be working on a minimum size of 24 X 24  - you must get your work home :)
