Recommended Materials: For this retreat, I'll be painting on professional panels by Artefex, which provide the perfect surface for alla prima oil painting in both the studio and outdoors. I've created an Exclusive Artefex Panel Bundle specifically for this workshop, featuring my favorite surfaces in sizes 9x12, 11x14, 12x12, and 12x16. These panels are available in both 533 and 537 types, offering smooth, archival-quality painting surfaces ideal for portraiture and alla prima techniques.

3-Day Workshop with Artist Anna Rose Bain / “Painting Children From Photos”

The Booth Art Academy, Cartersville, Georgia

This three-day workshop will be all about how to paint the younger model. As a mother of two and a seasoned commissioned portrait artist, Anna has learned how to capture the spirit of youth that is often so difficult to master in portrait painting. She will discuss how to draw a child so they look their age, how to mix skin tones and paint hair, and she will also share some strategies for choosing good photo references. Each morning Anna will demonstrate from photo references by painting children of different ages. Students will work from their own photos in the afternoon under Anna’s instruction, and have the option of doing three separate paintings (one for each day), or working on the same one for the duration of the workshop.
