This workshop is designed so that students will learn perspective techniques. It concentrates on mural layout, multiple-point perspectives, and "tips and tricks". Topics include: painting techniques for the foreground, middle, and background, the use of simple tools (e.g., levels, strings, and projectors) to create "perceptively correct" Italian tile floors, arched doors and windows, columns and arches,and much more! Prior experience with handpainting and/or drawing is recommended.

Each student will complete a 4' x 8' mural that is based upon some of our more popular elements (e.g., vaults, rows of columns, fountains, etc.). Students will be expected to follow and embellish our basic design by tapping into their own creativity. Our expectations are that students will want more than to reproduce a mural. They will want to use the concepts that we convey to unleash their imagination. We hope you can join us for this incredible workshop!
