Next Monday’s Life Drawing is getting even more offbeat as Body Artist and Painter, Nina Griffee, instructs you about how to paint on a “live” canvas! For families, Nina and her crew are offering a 2-hr workshop as an introduction to painting for parents and children.
Illusion Painting – Painting Clothes onto People!
This workshop is for creative people and for artists interested in experimenting with a new medium.
We will be using the human body as a canvas to understand fabric texture and how clothing looks. We will paint (bikini wearing) models in various garments, and consider how to make them look realistic. The session will be lead by Body Painter Nina Griffee, who will take the group step-by-step through the process. The group will be taught the ins and outs of body painting, and the best way to achieve interesting outcomes, using the correct materials.
