RENAISSANCE 5 week workshop!
Call 919-359-9006 if interested.
Instructor: Sharlene Thomas
Workshop Description:
This five-day, Renaissance-inspired oil painting class is rooted in the Covino tradition of controlled palette painting, emphasizing value, form, and disciplined color relationships. Working from early Renaissance master studies—including works by Leonardo da Vinci, Sandro Botticelli, and Raphael—students learn to build form through light rather than color excess.
Classes meet weekly for focused, studio-based instruction. Students prepare their own panels using the traditional Covino gesso mixture, then work at the table with a limited historical palette, following a structured, step-by-step approach drawn from classical studio practice and Covino’s method. Demonstrations and guided practice support each stage of the process, offering students a clear, repeatable way of working.
All paints, panels, palettes, and mediums are included. Easels are not required.
Note: for oil painters- Please bring baby wipes and gloves for your hands. We use the wipes to clean off the hands before entering the gallery. The gallery only allows odorless solvents with lids and non-solvent mediums in the space.
