About this opportunity
The space
Rachel Eichholtz uses this three-day workshop to compare two common ways of beginning an oil painting: direct observation from life and work developed from photographic reference. Participants explore what each method makes possible, where each can become limiting and how to choose or combine references without losing attention to colour, form and lived observation. The focus is on making conscious choices rather than treating either approach as a fixed rule.
Surroundings
Registration is offered through the Booth Western Art Museum in Georgia. Participants should use the organiser's booking information to confirm the exact classroom, arrival instructions and any museum access details before travelling.
Good to know
Sessions run Wednesday to Friday, November 4 to 6, from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. Tuition is USD 300 for museum members and USD 375 for non-members. The public workshop information does not specify a materials list, accommodation or participant level, so those details should be confirmed with the organiser before booking.
