SUMMARY:Hands-On Workshop: Renaissance Oil Painting (5-Day Class)
DESCRIPTION:Immerse yourself in the timeless techniques of the Old Masters in this intensive one-week oil painting workshop. Designed for artists of all levels\, this course guides students through the classical Renaissance method step by step. Beginning with a foundational under-drawing\, you will learn to create a structured and accurate composition before developing a monochromatic underpainting to establish form\, value\, and light. \nWith this solid groundwork in place\, we will then explore the rich world of color application\, layering\, and glazing. These are the traditional techniques used by master painters for centuries to achieve depth\, luminosity\, and subtle transitions. Each day includes hands-on instruction\, demonstrations\, and personalized guidance\, with a midday break for lunch. By the end of the week\, you should have a finished oil painting using authentic Renaissance methods and gained a deeper understanding of classical craftsmanship that you can apply to your own artistic practice. \nInstructor Tom Humbert is an accomplished conservation and portrait artist with years of experience restoring and preserving fine art. In addition to restoration\, he is passionate about teaching the traditional oil painting techniques of the early Italian Renaissance masters. His goal is to pass along the timeless skills and methods that defined that era — techniques that create depth\, realism\, and enduring beauty in every painting. Additional information about Tom’s workshop can be found online at tomhumbert.com.
