Hands…they can express so much emotion…sadness, happiness, longing, anxiousness…love. Painting hands for me is like telling a story to the viewer. You can’t hide age in hands…the life you’ve lived can be see in your hands.
If you want to spend time painting YOUR hands…holding an object or just posed simply, join me December 10-13 in Albuquerque, NM for my hand painting workshop!!!!
@vasari_oil_paint is kind enough to provide all the paints for the workshops for students to use so all you need to bring is a panel (preferably @artefexart panel), brushes, and your palette!!!
Only a few spots left and for ALL levels.
Message for inquiries!
Also….a few of these paintings are still available if interested
