Free with artists pass.
One of the key things that has made Guy's tattoo and painting work stand out from the crowd is his distinct use of texture in his imagery. Done with enough convincing realism, texture effects can bring a piece of artwork to life in all kinds of exciting ways. In this free 3-hour seminar, Guy will show many examples of creative use of texture and will do a demonstration painting of a strong texture effect. He will also be handing out exercises and references for any interested parties to play around with in their spare time, and will have a Q&A session at the end of the class.
4 days of responsible art education!
The Paradise Artist Retreat will be held September 16-19 2010.
Shifting the focus from tattooing to painting, this year over one hundred artists will be painting together for four days in the hills of Western Massachusetts while attending numerous seminars and workshops. The curriculum will led by Guy Aitchison, Shawn Barber, Nick Baxter, Cory Kruger, Chris Dingwell, and Tom Strom and others. Artists will spend four days painting and learning outside during the day, and inside at night. Each day there will be two seminars and one discussion panel; there will also be figure and portrait drawing workshops from a human model. A live webcast of the event will be promoted heavily on TattooNOW.
