'Painting the Portrait"
$335 (max 15 people) - Hurry....there are only 4 spaces left.
I’ll begin each morning by sharing vital principles for portrait painting. Then, you’ll see those
concepts in action as I demonstrate painting a portrait from a live model. I’ll verbalize my
thoughts and show you my process start to finish. Each afternoon, you’ll have the opportunity
to paint from a live model as I offer one-on-one assistance and critiques. Please join me for this
wonderful time of fun and learning! —Adam Clague

Painting Demonstration by
Mary Qian
I feel my art is like an open diary. It records my
Artist Statement:life, and the life around me.
My paintings are my preferred way to explain myself to the world. They speak of the things I don't know how to put into words.
Painting is a process and it connects me, my sitters and the viewers. It is a bridge between past and present.
I want to paint people, because people intrigue me, especially during the process of communication in silence.
I hope viewers will feel what I felt in the moments of painting. See what inspired me!
