Join American Academy of Equine Art Signature Member Joanne Mehl as she teaches a special workshop devoted to this unique subject.

Many artists struggle with painting the eyes in portraits and figures. We tend to paint our symbolic idea of eyes, rather than what eyes actually look like.

Join us outside this summer and experience the joy of painting the figure en plein air! Painting the costumed model while enjoying the beautiful summer weather has been a time-honored activity since before the Impressionists.

Many artists struggle with rendering flesh tones when painting the figure – too many color choices can lead to confusion and frustration. But working in a more limited palette allows greater control in color mixing, and also increases the painting’s color harmony.
