Beauty, Lights and Atmosphere

Michael offers an intensive insight into the important elements of Fa Presto oil painting and the fine art of pictorial choreography. He will guide artists into atmospheric painterly qualities using a direct approach which offers a faster, more romantic realism than traditional layering techniques.

Artists will develop their own ideas while applying the principles of old master panting techniques. This includes the beauty of anatomy, composition and the effective use of color, spatial effects and distribution of light.

Artists skills will be picked up from wherever they are at. New painters wanting realism and beauty will be given technical assignments. Artists who wish to deepen their own style, fantastic realism or visionary art, will be taught how to apply the old master's techniques to their own visions.
