    Adults - Ages 18+

    Explore self-portrait painting using traditional and non-traditional abstraction methods in this workshop led by artist and plein air painter Jennifer Tobias. Students will learn how well-known artists approached their own painting and can use the takeaways as inspiration. Using examples by Jennifer and beginning with simplified and primitive shapes, students will be led through the initial composition stages. Students will build their visual vocabulary and confidence to approach a painting with greater expression and personalized, loose and playful abstraction. 

    • For Intermediate to Advanced painting students with some preliminary painting experience.
    • All materials included, including small mirrors.
    • Students are welcome to bring your own mirrors or "selfie" photos to use as a reference.
    • A half-hour break for lunch is included. Please bring your own sack lunch. Limited space in the staff refrigerator is available.
