This class will focus on alla prima painting from a live model and working from photos. On the first day we’ll work from the model, then students will be able to use photos of other subject, such as people, children, landscapes, etc. We’ll talk about techniques for simplifying the subject and learn to paint with directness and economy of brushwork. We’ll also be discussing the basics of form, value, color and our painting knowledge to interpret, rather than copy photos.

Artist Bio
David Shevlino studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (certificate ’84) and the University of Pennsylvania (BFA ’92). His work has been featured in national publications and he has exhibited his work and taught workshops throughout the U.S. He has also produced a series of videos and DVDs about his artwork and painting methods.
My exposure to art began as a teenager growing up in NJ near NYC. I began making trips to art museums in NYC when I was 15 and developed a love of traditional figurative painting. As a youth I found myself especially drawn to the old masters. Those early trips to the museum instilled in me a love of craft and a sense of where painting comes from. For most of my artistic career I’ve tried to take what I’ve learned about traditional painting and mold it into something I can call my own, which presently means exploring the place between traditional figurative painting and abstraction.
