Painter's Focus Workshop: "Edges"

Are you looking to bring more of a painterly feel to your work? Attention to your edges are how you do it. In this class you will learn the four types of common edges in oil painting: Hard, Soft, Firm & Lost. Painter and instructor Suzanne Lago Arthur will explain how you make them and when to use them. Students will then create their own paintings from direct observation utilizing the techniques they have learned. “Edges” is the first of a new series of one-day workshops that are designed by Lago Arthur to address some of the main concerns of painters. Cost: $165. All materials are provided. Where: The Gathering Place at Faith Chapel (14188 Chapel Lane, Leesburg, VA 20176).
